Well I don't know what state you are in, but in some states they don't have to give a fair answer to why you were let go...\nIt is sometimes the right of the company to let you go with no warning or explanation of any kind...\n\n I went on disability leave from my job 3 years ago and my employer only held my job for 6 months waiting to see if I was getting better, and since I didn't get well, I was no longer employed...

What's done is done.  It might be better to move forward in an informed manner.  If, however, you think that violations were made by your former employer, take them up with your state's labor board.  If not, chalk it up as a costly lesson, but a lesson nonetheless.\n\nYour condition is a chronic one.  A perfect fit for you would be an employer that has very liberal time off, as well as one whom offers great health benefits, and perhaps even optional long-term disability insurance.\n\nThose companies exist, but you really need to do your homework.  Don't just take the next job that somes along.  Rather, research companies in your area based on their rate of pay, benefits, time off, and leave policies, versus your skillset.  If you need ot improve your level of skills in order to qualify for a particular employer, then do what you must as your livelihood is at stake.\n\nI am unaware of other countries' employment policies.  If you are in the US, however, within the interview process the employer cannot ask you about the status of your health, although the application can ask if you have sufficient health to perform the job's requirements.  \n\nUntil 1999, I worked nine years for a state agency.  The pay was great--particularly in the latter years.  Benefits were very reasonable, plus I also took out additional optional disability insurance.  It paid me during the time I had to take off to have foot surgery.  I was also elibible for FMLA (the Family Medical Leave Act) because I have a number of chronic and deterioritive conditions as a result of being hit by a car several years prior to my employment.  I had to have my physician complete a BURN form, which outlined all of my pre-existing, chronic, intermittent conditions.  That way, if I had to call out sick when one of those problems flared up, I was not penalized.\n\nUpon leaving that state's employment and subsequently moving to Las Vegas, I found that employers are not as generous here, in terms of benefits.  A breathing problem developed last year (I had been working in a casino, and was exposed to cigarette smoke for nearly three years.), and the consequential bedrest triggered my back condition.  I tried to return to work, but was physically unable.  \n\nI wish you the best, and hope you find the right fit that is mutually beneficial.

Depends on the state you're in and the employer. In my opinion, the employment contract is initially breached by the employee no longer performing as expected/demanded. The employer has well within his rights to terminate that employee.

If you have worked there for 1 year, you are entitled to FMLA for 90 days whether  you take it consecutively or intermittently.  They must hold your position if you have followed all the procedures.\n\nGo here:\nhttp://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/fmla/

It's honest work and you have to pay the bills...take the job but continue to explore your options for returning to what you did before.  McDonalds knows that most of their workers are there short term so the "stay for a year because it looks better on a resume" does not apply here.  I see nothing to be embarrassed about.  I hope things work out for you very soon!

sounds like homework.  I've never heard of an employer being forced to allow an employee to resign by law.  Now if you mean were you don't show up to work for X days without calling in and your employer considers it a resignation that's a bit different.  Again it's not really law, but a policy issue.  Also most states are at will and thus no reason must be given to have an employee leave.

YEP!!! And know this If you have worked on a job for 1 year or more And have gotten fired, And you seek employment else where I would not tell them that you where fired UNLESS you broke the Law and where convicted, JUST say you wanted more money, was bored with that particular job, Relocated. ECT... If you work on a Job 1year and less Do not even mention this job Because most Employers Look for WORK HISTORY, They care about How long you've been on a job. And If they want to call your employer give them a phone # of a close friend like cell # and tell them to talk professional. HEY YOU GO TA MAKE IT WORK FOR YOU and in the future whenever you work on a job for more than 2 years and you've done your best Be sure to ask a manager for a JOB Ref. they should do this it is a TYPED Letter and Keep that with you, IT HELPS IN GETTING HIRED ON FUTURE JOBS. Take Care.

Give them only the required notice (usually only 2 weeks) - you only need to give more if you want to keep on good terms with the people.\n\nAfter leave of absence or not, it makes no diff.

Apparently, you got a BIG BREAK when you were hired! Walk around the office with a legal pad in your left hand and a bottled water in the other...stop by other peoples desks and ask there opinion on small matters, it gives appearances on work related issues

That is a legal term used in wrongful termination cases. It means that while the company didn't actually terminate you, they did put you in a situation that basically amounted to a discharge. Or they change your working conditions such that you have no choice other than to quit.

The person should contact an attorney or legal aid.  I don't quite understand the question, but if a person was terminated from a job for a reason they feel isn't fair, then they do have rights.

Because some people start to wonder what's been going on that u have been out of work for so long.

speak to a lawer dealing with employmeny issues, if he has a sicknote covering him and he was fired for that then there is a case, what the company may do is say that he was fired for another reason

I would try to make the language simpler and give some more information about why you need the leave.  Here is an example:\n\nI need to take emergency leave because my father-in-law is seriously ill and I am the only family member available to take care of him.  I hope to return to work on October 11, 2006.

the last place i left, i wrote a letter that stated my real reasons for leaving. my boss cut my hours because i took vacation when it was "inconvienent for her" i had seniority over everyone including my boss. i felt i should have been able to take vacation when i wanted to. you should write the letter with the exact reasons for your leaving. maybe they don't know what's going on or why they can't keep help and maybe they'll realize the error of their ways if you let them know exactly why u are leaving.

It would depend on the type of job that you have, but a 30 day leave of absence in and of itself might be unacceptable to your employer.  Also, other things need to be taken into consideration such as your job performance before hand.  How often you were late or absent.  How well did you perform your job.  \n\nIf I came to my job asking for a 30 day leave to seek drug treatment I would be instantly fired because I work in a sensitive area where any type of drug use will get you fired.
