Re: I was fired while on Medical Leave.

It depends on a number of factors. The size of the employer, the time for which you have been employed, the nature and duration of the treatment for the staff infection and other health conditions and other conditions of your employment will be critical to determine whether or not you have a legal claim. You should speak with an attorney to see if you have a claim and what can be done about the situation.

The foregoing is general information only, not specific legal advice. No attorney/client relationship has been created or should be implied.
