Re: Family Medical Leave
If you qualified and took leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act, the employer MAY have violated the statute and possibly the federal discrimination laws (Sex Discrimination). However, more information is needed regarding the employer's stated justification for the firing; whether the employer fell under FMLA and whether you were given leave under FMLA.
I am licensed with a practice in Georgia. So, if you have any more questions, you can contact me on my Georgia line.
