I was working for a prominent attorney in my local area when due to an illness I was required to have surgery. My employer asked that I sign a voluntary release of position. I did not want to say that I quit, so I refused to sign. FMLA does not apply to my previous employer due to not having 50+ employees for the company. My position was held open and upon my release from the doctor, I contacted both my employer and the office supervisor. My call was never returned. I went in to work at my normal scheduled time and was given my personal effects and another person was brought in on the same day I returned. I had a form that needed to be filled out by my previous employer to help me support my family (I am a single mother of 3) while being unemployed and she has refused. She has said I could use her as a reference but somehow I feel that she would not give me a good reference. Legally, what rights do I have as protection for such behaviors while working in an at Will State?
