Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Re: Sick Leave

This will likely be unlawful. Depending on the nature of your condition, if your employer terminates your employment because of taking sick leave, the employer might be liable for FMLA/CFRA violation/retaliation, and breach of contract/implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing if sick leave is a formal part of your employment/benefits package.

Re: Sick Leave

Merely sick, yes. If you were on FMLA/CFRA qualified leave, no. If you think you were, consult with local counsel for help.
