i live in ohio
my father was in the hospital for urgent surgery, my 70 year old mother does not drive. i took 3 days off to provide transportation and support, which i notified my supervisor of each day that i was absent from work. Upon my return, i notified her that i wanted the 3 days to be considered FMLA. I was given no paperwork to fill out, and was subjected to a barrage of questions from her and the plant manager. the next day, they came to me and told me that the leave did not fall under FMLA guidelines. i asked for a written determination, and was told they did not have to give me one. right before lunch, i was called into the office and told that i was being fired. when i asked if this was because i asked for FMLA leave, the plant manager told me "no reason given".
