What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
My employer backfilled my position while I was out on medical leave. My leave was extended beyond the protected FMLA period, so I understand that aspect. The issue is that I didn't find out until three months after it had been filled, when I was ready to come back to work. The person who was supposed to have informed me emailed me the wrong attachment, and I received no communication from my employer via USPS.
I'm now without an income because I had no opportunity to either discuss with my doctor returning to work early, or to network/look for something else in the months leading up to my return-to-work date. It doesn't seem right that I would have no recourse following an error on behalf of my employer.
Did my employer have a legal obligation to inform me my position was going to be posted and backfilled?
Thank you.
