My husband hurt his knee at work about 11 months ago. He went to Medical at the plant they gave him knee braces and told him to follow up with an orthepedic surgeon. Because of the way he works and getting an appointment he put it off. Last week I finally got him to go to the doctor. The doctor put him on restriction from doing one process out of 300 so he is not on his knees, so the swelling will go down so he can preform and MRI. When my husband went back to work with the restriction they sent him home and told him he could not return until he had a form from the doctor stating so. So the next day he got the form to return to work. They told him he didn't follow the correct procedures for an injury at work. When he returned to work on Thursday a securtiy guard and he had words about a parking spot.
On Monday when my husband returned to work he was called to human resources and told that he may be terminated for the incident that took place with the security guard, they would let him know on Tuesday whether or not he had a job. He never cursed the security guard or did he come in contact with him physically. He just simply would not give the guard his badge number. My husband has never been reprimended for behavior or anything in the 3 years he has been employeed there he has been a model employee. Know that he has hurt his knee they are looking for things to terminate him for. My question is is this legal?
