Find answers to your legal question.





I was on disability for 8 weeks. ?

I have been back at work for a month and a half so far.

Do you think they are allowed to let me go, or would I have a good case in court?

Do you think they are allowed to let me go?
YES even if you were still out on disability they could let you go if they were downsizing.

would I have a good case in court?
case for what?
it would all depend on why you were let go. being disabled does not protect your job if the company is downsizing or if you can not perform the essential duties.

protections under ADA only relate to employment decisions made based on a disability IF the disabled person can do the job with or without accommodation.

If you do not have an employment contract with the company you are not immune to lays offs, RIF, & downsizing just because you were on disability.
