Legal Question in Employment Law in Tennessee

That answer depends on several factors. Among them are whether or not your employer is FMLA covered; whether or not your condition is FMLA qualifying (which I believe it is); and whether or not you are FMLA eligible. Depending on these answers, the ultimate question, whether or not your employment can be terminated, can be answered. In order to determine these answers, you probably need to schedule a consultation with an attorney. Alternately, you can do some research on-line with the DOL and see if you can locate the answer for yourself.
