Remote Work Legal Issues — fired while on medical leave

Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.

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?

I've handled similar cases. 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.

I've dealt with this before.

I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.

I've dealt with this before.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.

I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.
