Q: I would like to know if I have a case for a wrongful termination. After 5 years I was forced to quit from last Job
I was given 24 hours to decide and told if I did not quit they would terminate me. This was after my depression returned badly after the sudden death of my mother. I was told to take as much time as I need, and when I did justvthat, I was essentially fired,
A:
How much time did you need and did you take?
While you were out did you keep your employer on notice regarding when you anticipated to return?
How much time did you believe you could be gone?
Were you awarded unemployment benefits? If not why not since it is difficult not to get them in New York. Generally you have to do something pretty bad to be denied benefits.
Call some employment lawyers for additional information. Did you call any employment lawyers before you resigned? If not this is probably a good time to do so and in the future.
