I have been on state disability since Aug due to a second knee surgery this year. The leave was cleared with my employer before surgery. They were made aware the original 3 months requested might be extended as normal recovery for this surgery is 6 months to a year. When I notified my employer the doctor would not let me return to full duty for another month they sent a letter of termination. Their stated reason was "Exhausted all Available Leave". Can they legally fire me while I am on approved disability? (This is after four years of employment, if that makes a difference)
Thank you in advance for any assitance given!!
