fired unjustly and without cause
I am a 47 yr old single mother who was fired because my employer thinks I might have a physical problem. 18 mos ago I was hired in customer relations. Evidently, he was happy with my work as he raised my salary from $30,000 to $42.000. Several months ago his personal secretary died unexpectedly and asked if I would take over her duties. It was rough but I did not complain. It was a relief when he decided to hire someone - the new hiree lasted two days. Quit because of his abuse - she was just one of many new hirees who left after a few days. Once again I was left with both job and in Dec i started having headaches. After some tests, doctor recommened physical therapy. Om the 22nd of Dec I informed my employer that it was nothing serious (he asked if he was the cause of it) but would require some time off (mot days just a cou;e of hrs which i could do during lunch. The day after xmas I reported to work and was told to go home. Learned that he had put an ad in the paper the day he learned I might have a problem. time taken off in 18 mos (2 sick,2 vacation) He had promised all employees a xmas bonus which i did not get.kmow the men got it. Md's ''af will'' clausw -should I have been notified of this.
