What is the name of your state? TEXAS
My husband was employeed by a college as a photographer for 13 years. On 2/8/05 he applied and was approved for FMLA. He returned to his position on 3/10/05. Upon his return he was notified that he had been overpaid for the previous to years due to an error. He questioned if the error was because he had been changed from "non exempt" to exempt. On March 22 he had not gotten a response to his question so he asked for it in writing. The following day he was terminated and given the reason that his position was being eliminated.
Does an employee have any rights from being terminated after just returning from FMLA.
Also, it appears that because he was pushing the exemption status question that they may have been trying to cover that up.
Any advice would be helpful.
Thanks
