Quote while ****&**** has approved your requested medical leave, the company cannot guarantee the availability of your current position or any position at the conclusion of your leave. indeed, the company can no longer continue to keep your position open and will be filling the position. my job was posted on the internet last monday. >:( Title: Re: i think i got canned today........

Title: Re: i think i got canned today........ Post by: gleek on December 04, 2007, 06:49:04 PM FMLA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FMLA)
Quote Generally, the Act ensures that all workers are able to take extended leaves of absence from work to handle family issues or illness without fear of being terminated from their jobs by their employers or being forced into a lower job upon their return. The leave guaranteed by the act is unpaid, and is available to those working for employers with 50 or more employees within a 75 mile radius. In addition, an employee must have worked for the company at least 12 months and 1,250 hours in those 12 months. The benefits provided by the Act are not as generous to employees as policies in some other countries, such as Sweden. Swedish parental leave provides an unusually generous 480 days (16 months) of paid leave (80% or more of wage) with similar right of return protections as its American counterpart. How many employees at your company? Title: Re: i think i got canned today........ Post by: birdymaker on December 04, 2007, 06:49:45 PM Considering your circumstances...can they do that? I mean I know they did, but since you're getting a lawyer... my fmla leave for the year expires tomorrow. starting then, i think they are free to due as they please.

Any word yet? Title: Re: i think i got canned today........ Post by: PaunchyBald on December 05, 2007, 10:48:14 AM That sucks......
Hope you have luck in finding something after you get back on your feet. Title: Re: i think i got canned today........ Post by: birdymaker on December 05, 2007, 12:55:08 PM well i talked to HR today. the dealio is if they hire someone to fill my position before i am ready to return, i'm history. had a doctors appointment today and he says another month at least. so it ain't lookin good. on the other hand, slow as they are to accomplish anything around that *feces*hole, i could take another 6 months.
