Legal Question in Employment Law in California
Termination while on medical disability
I was terminated the reason was job abandonment. Is this possible my Dr. had me on medical leave due to extreme depression. My spouse had been taking my job the doctors notes. They stated I was suppose to call human resources, but I was in no condition to speak to anyone. My doctor wanted me to not deal with any thing stressfull. So I didn't call, I thought the doctors notes were enough. Should I get a lawyer, do I have a case. I have been with the company 9 years.

Possibly. Did they offer family medical leave? Must have enough employees to fall under this Fed package or under similar one by CA.
Re: Termination while on medical disability
It depends on several factors;
1. Were you on Medical Leave? Were you ever given formal FMLA documentation?
2. Is there a company handbook? If so, what does it say regarding medical leave?
3. How has the company handled similar situations in the past?
