What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Colorado
A contract employee I recommended a few months ago has been given notice they are releasing him. I suspect, as he does, that it hinges on some performance issues coming from a medical condition he has that he needs meds for, but has not had for about 6 weeks because he couldn't get a prescription (the med can only be prescribed one month at a time) and he hasn't been able to see the specialist for the med yet. He explained to our team lead that he had a condition, but they are still releasing him. He is an employee of a consulting company which placed him here.
I don't want him to go both because he is an old friend, and because I don't want to lose the recruiting fee ($1000!) I will receive after he is here 90 days.
Is he protected, or does his work status of contractor here mean he is unprotected by EEOC guidelines?
