My friend has been placed on administrative leave from a gov job and notified of intent to terminate in 30 days. She was recently diagnosed with bi-ploar disorder and definitely fits the classification for disabled as set forth by ADA and the EEOC (condition which substantially limits one or more major life functions). Her employer's claims are not unfounded though; she has been sited for unplanned leave and excessive tardiness and is being dismissed on that basis. However, our question is whether there is an argument against termination (she has 7 days to file a response). Possibly she could be placed on FMLA leave for a 3-4 week period and hopefully get medication stabilized and return to the same or a different department?
Any help appreciated.
