What is the name of your state?ALABAMA
Is it legal to be terminated from your job while you are out on an approved STD due to having a medical condition requiring Surgical Procedure with a minimum recovery time of 4-6 weeks.
I was employed with a corporate office in the State of Alabama. I got a pre-approval from my employer for a surgical procedure that was needed.
I received a phone call last week informing me that I was being terminated. I have not been released from my doctor yet to return to work, and they gave my position to a former employee that was supposed to be taking over during my absence.
It is an At-Will company, But are they allowed to do this considering I have not yet been released from my doctor. My follow-up visit was still a week away. I still have 3 weeks left on disability.
Would this fit in with the ADA act?
Please help......
