What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
I have been out on a medical LOA from my job for about 4 months. During this time I have also received STD benefits. My 12 week statutory FMLA period expired about 6 wks ago. I recently notified my employer that I would be able to return to work in 3 wks or so after the conclusion of my PT and OT. Although I was verbally assured that my employment was secure, it appears as if my employer now wishes to terminate my employment b/c I was unable to return to work at the conclusion of my 12 wk FMLA period eventhough I notified my employer that I was in the hospital and would be unable to return. Do I have any recourse under ADA? Would I qualify for unemployment in New York State if I resign just to prevent me from having a termination on my record? I feel as if resigning or negotiating a layoff is my only recourse...
Any advice would be appreciated.
