I got terminated from my job because I ran out of Sick Hours and PTO Hours. I called in because I have a medical condition, and when I came back to work, my manager suspended me for a week without giving me a chance to explain why I was sick. After my suspension, I was told to come back to work because I had to meet my manager and HR.When I got there, right in front of me was my termination letter.
Before signing the termination paper, I told them about my medical condition which is on their records because I had surgery done on it during my 1st year of employment and this is a recurring medical condition. I had proof of medical records from my doctor, but they REFUSED to see it because they said it was already "TOO LATE" for anything to happen. They had to continue with the termination. They didn't even give me a chance to explain and show proof that I was sick.
Do you guys think this is discrimnation based on disability, and should I take legal action for wrongful termination?
