Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida
I have a medical condition which is on file complete with medical note. Explaining if I become ill and need to seek medical care or time to recoup to avoid hositalization is it legal for my boss to fire me even though I have only called out twice due to my medical condition and I do have doctors that back me up with notes but she refuses to take it in consideration.

Were you actually fired? There could be some type of perceived disability discrimination but would need to know more details. For more information on your employee legal rights check out our employee rights blog www.takethisjobnshoveitblog.com or www.behrenlaw.com.
You can apply for future intermittent leave pursuant to the FMLA. Then, when in the future you are out because of your illness, you simply have to explain that your absence was a result of the illness, and they cannot fire you.
