Add Comment Question: I worked for a company for 2.5 years. 46 months ago I was hospitalized for pnamonia and was off work 8 weeks. I returned to work and unfortunately I was in an accident and cracked a rib. I only missed three days and had a doctors note to excuse me from work . The day I returned I was fired. They said I was not being disiplined for being sick but that I wasn't a good fit for the company and that my work performance have fallen short. I'm very good at my job and have had 2 raises since I started. Are they allowed to do that Answer: Thanks for writing to us. Your employer is allowed to terminate you but they MUST provide you with an adequate severance package. I would strongly encourage you to visit the severance pay calculator our firm has developed to see what you are owed (www.SeverancePayCalculator.com). I would also encourage you to call us and set up a appointment to have one of our employment lawyers fully assess the circumstances of your termination (1-844-661-9065).
