No, you cannot be terminated based on medical absence from the workplace. It would have to be a legitimate reason such as poor performance or tardiness or something like that. Of course it might be hard to prove since Arizona is an at-will right-to-work state, meaning that an employee can be let go for any reason or "no reason" and an employee can leave an employer for any reason or "no reason."
Best of luck to you! |
