What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Louisiana
My husband (34 years old) was an Electrical Foreman for a very reputable company in LA. In 2007, he was diagnosed with cancer. His company was very supportive while he went through Chemo, Radiation, a 17-hour surgery in January 07 and an additional surgery in May 07. The first surgery involved a hemi-pelvectomy, removal of the Adductor Longus and Adductor Magnus, and replacing the "empty space" in his left leg where these muscles and the softball sized tumor were with an abdominal muscle flap. His team of docs in TX say that he will remain "disabled" and may not improve much more. His company told him they had a part time position for him for as long as he wanted it. There were a few staff changes and someone was promoted to the Human Resources Director who seems to have a personal "vendetta" for my husband. Last Monday, he was told that until he could return as a full-time employee that they didn't "have anything for him." Yesterday, he received what he guesses is a final paycheck for the 10 hours he worked last week and his remaining vacation/holiday pay. They never told him he was terminated, just that they needed him full-time. I guess my question is, "Can they do this?" Seems like a little bit of a double standard to say one thing and do another. Please advise on this situation. We can use all the help we can get.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
