Yes. Since you decided to not tell us the facts, and reasons for termination, you can't get a more definite response. If you repost, include the whole story.

When a person is on FMLA, the employer cannot retaliate against the employee by firing him/her. However, in the normal course of downsizing, the person is not necessarily immuned from being fired. However, the employer cannot take the fact that the person is on FMLA into consideration when making the termination decision.
If you need additional information about the issue, I am available to discuss the matter with you further. ([email protected]) (770)367-1234.
