So my wife is about to start another round of head surgeries to fix a hemangioma that has eroded a hole into her skull. She currently works for a company doing background checks, as she can work from home she'll be missing minimal work however today one of her friends in upper management at the company told her that the company was planning on firing her to avoid having to pay her any disability or deal with her time off. She is currently and has been their top producer for 6 of the 8 months she has worked there. So the question, can they legally do that to her or would be it considered wrongful termination?
Update: Wife confronted her boss about it, he denied all of it and she got a promotion and a raise on the spot

As long as she is not in a probation period and she was a full time employee prior this seems like it's illegal, especially if the reason is "avoid having to pay her any disability " - if you have proof of this, I think you have a very strong case |

If she doesnt have any previous disciplinary action on file then I would sue on grounds of discrimination. |

Although I am not a lawyer (will be in 3 years), I believe that it depends on the state. I know here in Florida it is a right to work state and you can be fired for just about any reason. Check your state's labor laws. Also, you can shoot a call your state's labor department and try to find out there. If nothing else consult a lawyer ASAP. |
