Legal Question in Employment Law in Nevada

Terminated for ''sick leave abuse''.

I called in sick with a migraine at 10:00 am for a 2:30 pm shift. (I have a history of migraine headaches and have prescription medication.) At 11:00 pm that evening two fellow employees witnessed myself and a friend having dinner at a restaurant. They notified my supervisor of this and I was terminated for sick leave abuse. I have no history of sick leave overuse and have not recieved any oral or written warnings for this or any other workplace violations. Can my employer sustain such a claim with such trivial evidence?

Re: Terminated for ''sick leave abuse''.

My involvement with law guru is not to give legal advice or opinions. People can contact me through law guru, and if their situation is something that I may be able to assist with, I will respond to investigate the circumstances further. Your situation is not one that I can assist with. This is not to say you have no legal recourse, I just cannot help you. I am responding to your post as a courtesy.
