Is it legal to be fired for asking your boss for a total length to a rehabilitation center for alcoholism?
Asked his brother employer for leave for him to go to rehab for alcoholism (forgetting that your employer is supposed to have an open policy and programs to help employees reprocussions with no problems), his boss responded with gunfire. I'm pretty sure is a violation of ADA rights, but I know exactly what laws are violated and the best way to handle the situation, my brother can not afford legal advice.
I'm pretty sure this is a violation of license Family and Medical The absence of laws. It depends on what, exactly, his brother would have been fired for. In a state at will (most states), employment is at will and can be fired at any time for almost any reason. However, you may lose your job to ask as FMLA guarantees 12 weeks per year and your employer is obliged to guarantee their work for them when they return. Again, the details will determine whether she was treated legally or not, but it sounds like a violation of FMLA. Usually lawyers give a free initial consultation and can take his case on a pay-if-you-win base (do not over 30%!) Should take this first visit (make sure that when APPT.'s free). It could also just his strong arms, threatening to take the case FMLA. Often, if you press a bit, they will not take the risk or do not bother to address them.
