Legal Question in Employment Law in New Jersey

I was off work 7/28 & 7/29 due to illness. I was in the emergency room the night of the 28th. I called in both days and told them I would not be in. I took the one sick day I had left. ( I only had 2 sick days since they cut me to part time in Feburary )\nBut I still have 9 vacation days left on the books. When I called in on the 29th I told them I would take that day off without pay.\nLater that afternoon I received a phone call from one of the owners of the cpmpany telling me that they no longer require my services. I had no warnings what so ever.\nNo one ever told me that if I missed work I would get fired. I have never had any disciplinary action against me, Plus I took days off that I had on the books. ie: sick days & vacation days.\nIs this considered wrongful termination, and if so what are my options.\nThank You.\nAlan.

What was the nature of your illness?

Was your former employer aware of this illness?

If you were discharged due to your illness you may have a claim.
