What is the name of your state?
I am a resident of Pennsylvania. I filed a civil suit against my employer in August 2005, for violation of FMLA, FLSA and retaliation. Basically, I was terminated while on FMLA and under doctors care. My employer came back with an offer of reinstatement on a Friday afternoon, however I had to report for work no later than the following Monday morning. I was already working at a new job and found this offer to be unreasonable. My attorney advised me that I no longer have a case if I refuse the offer? IS this true? Also, my doctor advised me not to take the offer of reinstatement, due to the fact they caused me great emotional distress by firing me and cancelling my health benefits when they knew I was in need of medical treatment. Now I have $$$$$ worth of unpaid medical bills.
