Legal Question in Employment Law in California
I have been working at a hotel as a seasonal maid in California and my wrist has been hurting so I went to a doctor and they gave me a lite duty note. And my work said they have no hours for me for lite duty and I could come back when it feels better. I just went into my work to get a check from a week before and told my manager that I could come back at the beginning of the year. And she said infront of everyone " that's if you still have a job" So I want to know is it illegal to let me go/fire me after they said I could come back since I had a doctors note

You need to file a claim for worker's compensation benefits that cover temporary disability benefits , ongoing medical treatment and a settlement for permanent disability and future medical care. Feel free to call me at 213-388-7070 for a free consultation.
Your issues are all in Workers Compensation. Consult with your doctor about filing a comp claim, or with a Workers Comp attorney willing to do so for you.
