Can I be fired from work after returning from disability?
Thanks for looking. Ok.. Long story short… I tried committing suicide and have been placed on disability by my Psych. For 3 months. I work for a major insurance company in CA. Can I be fired upon returning? If so can I do anything about it? Thanks in advance?
Answer: Disability Discrimination & Work Situations – The law forbids discrimination when it comes to any aspect of employment, including hiring, firing, pay, job assignments, promotions, layoff, training, fringe benefits, and any other term or condition of employment. http://www.eeoc.gov/laws/types/disability.cfm
Here is how to file a discrimination charge with the EEOC.
You really shouldn’t do this on your own. Insurance companies are the anti-Christ. Click here to find an employment lawyer in your area to discuss your case.
