Re: notification of termanation

Unless your company policies guarantee your right to return to work after this long a time [unlikely], probably the only thing you are/were entitled to is notice of COBRA insurance conversion rights upon termination. If that wasn't provided, and if you incurred uncovered medical expenses, you might have a claim for reimbursement from the employer. The law only provides for a 4 month max protected FMLA/CFRA leave. If you still think you have a valid claim, feel free to contact me if serious about pursuing it.
