What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Illinois
I had a severe kidney infection and was hospitalized. I was out of work for about a week and a half. When I received my release from the dr to go back to work, my employer told me to not bother coming in, that they were "slow." They called me in the next day for a meeting and laid me off. Claiming that they needed to do some downsizing... they have not laid anyone else off, and also have temps coming in to work. I know for a fact that they are not "slow." Also received documentation from my health insurance company that they terminated my insurance while I was still under medical care, the day before I was released to go back to work. I'm not sure if this situation is in fact "illegal" I just wanted to get an opinion or advice about my situation.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
