Q: How can I fight a no rehire status? I resigned didn't give 2 weeks now I'm at six flags with a no rehire status.
My father was septic then had a seizure so I left to take care of him. According to six flags policy I have to wait 2 years for a change. Please help thank you.
A:
You should have asked to take a leave of absence under the federal Family Medical Leave or California Family Rights Act Leave to care for a sick family member, instead just quitting without notice.
I suggest that you explain that you had the right to take an immediate legal protected medical leave and they did not advise you of that right. (Hopefully, you told a supervisor or HR about your family situation. If so, the employer had an obligation to inform you of your rights.)
