My husband got extremely ill in March of this year. He was hospitalized for 2 months and then discharged to home care after that. He is now on disability. His company that he worked for fornover 10 years laid him off 2 weeks after hospitalization started. He was the only one laid off. I do have to say that the company has been downsizing over the prior 6 months from March. The company is now shutting its doors Dec 31st of this year. He was an impeccable employee that many considered the buoy that kept the company afloat. This seems even more evident since it has basically become defunct since they laid him off. My question is, was it legal for them to lay him off because he was hospitalized with an expected long recovery period(6 months or more)?
