QUESTION
Labor/Wrongful Termination/Medical/FMLA?
Asked on Feb 02nd, 2019 on Labor and Employment - Texas
More details to this question:
I was working (2) jobs; On 9/26/18 while at my secondary job (Car Dealership) which is part-time, I took a bad fall and fractured my left wrist and fingers, which required surgery, hardware implants and physical therapy, however through the healing process I kept in contact with both employers as for my progress. And while still being under Doctor's care along with physical therapy as required and with limited "restrictions". On 1/28/19 I called my former employer (Hotel) which was my full-time job to say that I would be having a follow up for another visit with my Surgeon/Doctor for 2/6/19 for assessment and evaluation of my condition, but was told that my employment had been terminated since they could no longer wait for me to get a full clearance from my Doctor since I was listed with "limited restrictions". My question is am I able to pursue a wrongful termination against Hotel job, since the injury happened at the Car Dealership?

Had you worked for 12 months at the hotel? During those 12 months, had you worked 1250 hours at the hotel? If so, you would have been eligible for FMLA leave.
