If I Am On A Medical From Work Can They Fire Me?

I was diagnosed with lupus and have been off work since June, company states my job would be secure when I was able to come back to work. I received a letter in the mail stating I was terminated because I cannot come back to work at this time.

    Hi, I am assuming your company has a family medical leave policy? That would spell out how long they can or have to hold your job, legally.  You might want to check your handbook.  I also found this website that talks about FML.  If I read it correctly, they talk about a period of 12 weeks.  http://eeoc.gov/policy/docs/fmlaada.html

    I am sorry you find yourself in this situation.  Take care :-)
