Re: Termination from job after ten years without reasonable cause

If there is no employment contract in effect between employer and employee, the relationship is "at will" meaning that either party may sever the relationship with or without cause. If they terminated you during leave, it depends on what type of leave you took. Some "leaves" are protected by employment statutes, but I do not have enough info regarding this issue.
