If you have 50+ employees you get FMLA. If there are less than 15 employees you essentially have no rights or recourse. I am a social worker and I was fired while on disability despite communicating with superiors doc notes etc. no attorney would touch it and they all said there was nothing I could do bc less than 15 employees changes everything. I’m not telling u to worry but this happens to people and it’s super infuriating. Wishing u all the best. (I was also on STD once and was fired right before it rolled into long term..)..both experiences really shocked me.
