Was let go because of Health Problems
My mother was let go from her job today due to ''Health problems'' where starting to show. She was a manager for 9 years and was recently diagnosed with PBC. Today they decided to have a meeting to tell her that she was let go due to health problems. Supposedly there had been complaint's about her falling asleep. She was a barmaid. They where willing to let her work one day a week. Are there laws to protect her from this kind of ''letting go due to health problems''?

Re: Was let go because of Health Problems
I don't really know what PBC is. Please explain.
In general, one cannot be "let go" due to a handicap or disability, or a perceived handicap or disability. Employers are required to reasonably accomodate the disability. In order to fully answer, I would need to know what PBC is, and what its effects on your mother are.
