Idk but looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened just saying.
fired while on medical leave. I've been dealing with this for about 6 months now and the situation isn't improving.
I have worked at this company for 1 years. My position is non-exempt and I do have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.
Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?
Here's my take on the legal issues.
Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under the FMLA. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct qualifying and covered.
The practical consideration here is cost vs. potential recovery. For disputes under $10K, small claims court is often the best route.
NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. Of course the details matter a lot here honestly.
Three things I wish I knew before my dispute: (1) Save copies of all communications in multiple places, (2) Send important correspondence via certified mail with return receipt, (3) Keep a detailed timeline of events. These three things won my case.
