Legal Question in Medical Leave in Florida

Can my employer fire me and threaten me wile onfmla

I am a pharmacist, working for CVS in Florida, I worked more than 100 hours

per week days and night because of a shortage of pharmacist. I've covered

half the State.

My behavior started changing I started arguing with customers using foul

lanuage after 4 month my supervisor and districrt manager came in to

terminated me when I told them I needed help, Ineeded anger management,

I'm doing thing I can't explain, My diabeties in out of control, and I recently

fell out at work from a gall bladder atttack and the doctor said I need

surgery, they then decideded to suspend me.

I requested help and they said CVS had no such program, Icalled CVS main

office and I applied for FMLA and short term disablity. I found out they had

mental counseling and I took advantage of it.

Now my immediate surpervisor calls me the next day saying they intended to

terminate me, I told him I was on medical leave and and have sought out

treatment and I going to talk with a lawyer.

Can they stop my FMLA and disability and terminate before I get

treatment???? And did I get FMLA in time

Sounds like you could have an FMLA claim. I would need to get more information. If interested, send me an e-mail at [email protected].

You could possibly have a FMLA cause of action and possibly a "perceived as disabled discrimination claim. You have given much detail and in view that you are already prepared to start an action, I suggest that you discuss this with an attorney privately. If you wish. you could contact me at [email protected]
