What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NC
I went out of work on Family Medical Leave on August 15, and four days later I was called and told I was being terminated. They gave me the reason that " another nurse said I made a false statement to get out of work early" two days before my surgery, but they have no proof that when I did go home early SICK that I was anywhere else but at home.. I called the dept of labor and they said to write a letter to one of the Doctor's I worked with. Im a single mom of two kids. Not only did I loose my job, but AFLAC denied my short term disability claim 3 times, and then it took 7 weeks for me to get unemployment, and then my former employed canceled my health insurance the day after my advance pay on it ran out, and they did not notify me, or offer me COBRA, I found out at the pharmacy, and that meant that I could not finish my physical therapy for the ACL surgery I just had done, so it has left my knee not healed all the way. Im in jeopardy of loosing my home and car. I am looking for a job, and I have had great interviews, but nothing yet. Im unsure of what I need to do next or if there is anything that I can do??? PLEASE HELP!!!
