STIS: Is there an expert here on HR issues (short-term disability, etc.?)

Posted by Strongbad (aka Rambler14) Oct 31 '11, 14:57

I have a relative that thinks she is going to be fired the moment she goes on short-term disability for medical issues. That's ground for a lawsuit, correct?

- FL, small private -- nm - Strongbad Oct 31, 15:17 6
  - how many employees at the company? -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 31, 15:24 5
    - I'd guess in the 250 range. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 31, 15:26 4
      - only about 20-30 fulltime, the rest on a part-time (seasonal) basis -- nm - Strongbad Oct 31, 15:27
      - then the company would be required to follow the family medical leave act (it has to have 50 employees to be required to). -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 31, 15:27 2
        
        thanks -- nm - Strongbad Oct 31, 15:27 1
        
        that is the basic rule of thumb, but there are loopholes. - tRuMaN Oct 31, 15:29
I would say lawsuit. -- nm - Zombie Liz Taylor Oct 31, 15:07 6
- Is there anything she should be doing beforehand -- nm - Strongbad Oct 31, 15:08 5
  - hmmmm. I would do some research first. Apparently she needs to qualify for FLMA to ensure she will not be fired. - Zombie Liz Taylor Oct 31, 15:11 3
    - Fired. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 31, 15:18 2
      - and thx for the link -- nm - Strongbad Oct 31, 15:18 1
        
        IMO it would be worth consulting an attorney. -- nm - Zombie Liz Taylor Oct 31, 15:20
  - sfek: beforehand? anything to get all her ducks in a row? -- nm - Strongbad Oct 31, 15:09
My gf was on it and they can't fire you. I believe that would fall under wrongful termination. - Krusty Oct 31, 15:03
