If someone is on short term disability, he was fired. They said his attendance was part of the reason. My son was off work due to drug addiction. He was off work two weeks before they mailed him his termination letter. They said, he took too long to get into rehab so they classed the two weeks off work, poor attendance. He was applying for his short term disability and waiting on a bed in the rehab.
Please give us a call at the number below to discuss the matter further. Your son is likely entitled to a termination package and additional damages because the employer let him go for reasons connected to his addiction. We need additional information about your son's employment in order to assess the full value of his entitlements so we look forward to contacting with you or your son directly.
