TLDR: I'd like someone to precisely verify what qualifies as wrongful termination according to Alabama statutes, and Federal statutes.
I've working for this employer for two years and have been suffering from medical problems that are unrelated to the workplace. I have had three emergency situations within the last two years that have prevented me from working each time; I've been able to document and provide my employer with proof that I was unable to show up to work and that my medical issues are legitimate and unforeseeable. I was threatened to be terminated the other day over another unpredictable medical emergency that I had no control over, and I am wondering if it is possible for me to be terminated given these circumstances. I even made several attempts to speak with my superiors about the situation, but was told that I have been classified as a no call/no show (despite my evidence to the contrary) and that I was going to be terminated on those grounds. What is the law regarding wrongful termination due to medical emergencies in the state of Alabama and the federal government? This behavior from my employer is certainly immoral, and unethical but I'd like to know if I have any legal recourse in this situation. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you (in advance) for reading all this and I appreciate and read everly single response.
