Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Is there a legal way an empoyer has to notify an emplyee (on state approved disability) that they have been terminated?

Prudential (disability) sent the wrong forms to the doctor, the forms were completed and sent back but Prudential filed them as duplicated and told my employeer that I was not communicating with them. SInce I was not communicating with the disability insurance company, my employeer fired me. Also, Prudential requested chaart notes but I told them it would take 4-6 weeks and a decision ( to terminate the claim) was made without the chart notes after my employment was terminated. I am appealing the decision with Prudential but need to know if I have any recourse with my employer.

Hello,

It's possible that you have a legitimate disability claim for failure to accommodate under FEHA (Fair Employment and Housing Act) , but more details and facts are needed to determine whether your employer is liable and what the employer's fault was in this apparent failure to communicate between the organization.

Thanks and feel free to follow up.
