you may have a case if you were eligible for Family Medical Leave Act protection. (you were employed over 1 year full time and company has 50 or more employees within a 75 mile radius). Any employer under the FMLA is required to hold the position for 12 weeks only if your condition is serious and renders you unable to work. More information is needed to see if you qualify.
