What is the name of your state? Michigan
4 1/2 weeks into my maternity leave my boss called to inform me that she was going to look for someone with more experience and that she would not need me to return to my job. I have been there for almost 2 1/2 years and during that time have not received any bad reviews (for that matter, no reviews). She has posted a help wanted ad for my position but now is asking for an associates degree, which I dont have but am in the process of getting. During my leave, I did ask for a raise and she said that she would think about it. I had not received a raise at all during my employment. Is this a legal firing? If so, how can someone be fired while on maternity leave? If not, what should I do about this? Of course, I would not want to work where I am not wanted but this has really hurt my finances for myself and my family. She said she is sending me one weeks pay for severence but I havent received it. She is also sending my a letter of recomemdation. I asked her if I was fired due to my performance and she said no.
