Legal Question in Disability Law in Illinois

termination

I received notification from my health insurance that the request for termination of my insurance was received on the 15th from my employer. I was terminated on the 18th for 3 reasons that occured on the 16th. I do not have any write ups or verbal only 2 raises and a excellent review in personnel file. I am a employee with a disability which employer was informed 2 weeks prior to my termination. Are they going though great lengths to terminate a employee at will, and ignoring that I am not a at will employee?

Re: termination

The only way you can claim not to be an "at will" employee is if you have an employment contract. Otherwise, you are an "at will" employee who can be discharged for any reason.

If you have a disability and feel that you have been discharged as a result of discrimination, then you may have a case for wrongful discharge.

You will have to contact the EEOC office and report your grievance and seek to have your case certified. Once that is done, you may then look for an attorney to pursue a discrimination case on your behalf.

I hope this helps,
