I completely agree with you. It should be monitored going forward but if they change course, that is a good outcome without having to resort to outside avenues. Good luck! Kindly rate the answer positively.

Labor law question. HR. At will, hourly. My granddaughter
My granddaughter worked as a medical assistant for a medical group and also The Express Care Walk in Clinic associated with a hospital. She had to have surgery on her back to remove a large cyst. At first she advised that she would be out of work for 2 weeks. During the surgery it was found that the cyst was bigger than anticipated and that she would need and additional week off for a total of 3 weeks. Those weeks were approved.The stitches were from her mid back to very low back which made it difficult to sit. The stitches broke and she was bleeding profusely. Her doctor then removed all of her stitches and left the wound open to heal and drain on it's own adding 1 more week to her not being able to return to work. Altogether 4 weeks off. Her HR said that if her manager approved the last additional week requested she would keep her job. Her manager did not and she was let go. She received a letter today from HR stating that the reason she was dismissed was because she had used her FMLA for maternity reasons before the surgery. They knew that. I was under the impression that this would fall under disability not FMLA. Can you help. Lillian… read more
