Legal Question in Disability Law in Maryland

Wrongful Termination?

I was recently sent a letter of termination. The reason given in the letter was that I was terminated because my 12 weeks of job protected leave under FMLA had expired.

I am still on medical leave and will be having back surgery soon. Is it legal to terminate a person who is on medical leave? FYI -- They have not replaced me with another person; instead, they have "farmed out" my work to others in the department.
