Live in Rhode Island - Place of employment - Massachusetts
I am not in a union, and my employment was at-will.
I developed a substance abuse problem, and it effected my attendance at work. I started missing a few days per month.
At one point, one of my absenses put my manager in a position where he had to have me go out on leave, and he hired a temp to fill my shoes while I tried to get better.
A few of the drug treatment programs involved religion and AA, and I am not a religious person.
My employer was not happy with my progress, and I was then terminated for too many absenses due to my substance abuse problem. Before being terminated, I told my employer that I was ready to come back to work.
I was terminated officially on October 4th, and recieved the notice on October 26th.
Do I have any type of recourse?
Will I be able to collect unemployment benefits?
Thanks for any insight.
