Add Comment Question: I was just fired by my employer because I took a day off to take care of my sick son, and I was sick as well by the end of Friday. I have been mistreated and subjected to gaslighting by the HR manager and her buddies since I started because they don't like the lawyer I was working for. I have had no discussions that suggest my work was not up to par, other than the continual changing and oblique process for sending bills to accounting. I was terrified of being yelled at by the HR manager again. Yesterday evening I was fired, while I was puking my guts out and told that I won't be paid for the 4 days I worked last week so they are paid back for the time off that I had taken. I AM A SALARIED EMPLOYEE!! Answer: Thank you for your question. My name is Stephen Gillman and I am an employment lawyer at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP.
