Re: firing while out sick

Sometimes. It depends on what kind of a leave you are on, what the company's policies are regarding termination and what the company's reason is for firing you. It is my recommendation that you contact an employment attorney for a consultation to (1) learn your rights, (2) find out if you have a case and (3) find out what your options are if you are interested in pursuing your rights. If you work in NJ, then I welcome you email me directly at [email protected] so that we can set up a consultation.
