I just got a release from my dr to return back to work. I was on FMLA. My position couldn't be held for me any longer but was told that a job has to be provided for me when I got a work release from my dr. I called my previous mgr and he told me that I couldnt work there because I have been terminated. My lawyer seems to think that would be wrongful termination and referred me to another lawyer who's case load is too much right now. Can I be terminated while on medical leave with appropriate dr's notes?
 
I was on FMLA leave for 16 weeks. Employer sent me a letter saying that they had to post my position because they were in need of help. Was told that a position had to avail for me when I was able to return to work. Didn't have to be the same job I had, but something else with the same rate of pay etc
 
Sorry, no, FMLA was only for 12 weeks (even though your employer extended your leave, the additional 4 weeks wasn't FMLA) and as such, your job was no longer protected.
