I recently requested time off for medical leave, even though I didn't have FMLA. The medical leave was due to a psych crisis because of unrealistic expectations from my supervisor and being made to work during the time I was on sick leave, which I had an excusal letter for. All of this plus more made my mental disorders worse, which lead me to have a crisis that was detrimental to my mental health. (This has never happened at any job I've had before)
The employer granted my leave due to illness and mental state, and he stated that he relieved me from my duties, but said that since I don't qualify for FMLA, I had no job security. He also stated that once I got better, I would need to re-apply for a job that I qualified for. I was taken back because I didn't expect to be let go of since I only asked for a short time frame of a month and a half, I had some vacation leave I could use, and didn't voluntarily quit. At least from my perspective. On top of that, my insurance was taken away which leads me to believe I was terminated but the employer says that's not it but won't precisely say what happened.
Since February, I've been on constant stress which has made my mental health worse. I was also told that I would no longer have a fulltime job if I didn't do the tasks they asked immediately which was impossible. The employer also stated in the letter that I no longer work for the company.
Would this mean he terminated my job and would I qualify for unemployment? or would this mean I at will quit (even though I never stated I was quitting) but have a compelling reason due to leaving an environment that was detrimental to my mental health?
Thanks in advance!
