More details to this question:
The company I work for goes by a point system. I was off of work for 7 days due to a contagious illness. I requested a medical leave to get the points erased. I was told by my leave administrator I had until a certain date to submit the papers. I told the administrator I was ill when I was out of state I may not be able to get the paper work on time. The administrator granted me an extension and I submitted the paperwork 3 days before the deadline. I have the documents to prove this and a recorded conversation with HR that clearly states I was granted an extension and the paperwork was submitted 3 day's before the deadline.(HR has this documentation as well and our recorded correspondence but wont send it to me) I was fired due to all the points I accumulated. If I did not receive the points for being sick I would not have been fired.Do I have any legal recourse.

Your employer may give you certain restrictions when applying for FMLA leave. Information regarding the FMLA can be found on the Department of Labor's website. In addition, you can contact an employment law attorney like me. I can be reached at 614-949-1181.
