Wisconsin
I was fired for missing work due to back problems that were caused by the work I was doing. Despite extensive medical documentation that supported my injury.
I missed 19 days of work over about an 8 month period. Finally I was summoned to a meeting and was informed that I was to be put on probation for 30 days. Any days missed during this time would result in my dismissal. During this meeting I brought up the fact that there was the very likely possibility of my just no being able to work. To which I was told "There's always something that could be done" Two days before my 30 days was up, I had another bad back episode and missed a day and a half of work. Upon going back to work I was then informed that I was to be terminated.
Now my ex-employer is making a hassle for me to get Unemployment.
Can they do this?
Let me know if more details are needed.
