My boyfriend has been off work on medical leave with a dr note . The dr said return to work by Jan , he received a letter last week saying he would be terminated if they hadn’t heard back from him by wed but he didn’t receive the letter until fri. He has also tried calling them but doesn’t receive a call back. The dr note didn’t indicate a dayhe was to return and it’s still Jan. Can he sue them for this??
