Short answer, yes. And although I personally disagree with the outcome, the only real way to change that is to vote for politicians that are sympathetic to worker rights (actually sympathetic not just posturing) and demand that congress amend the Federal Arbitration Act.

Answer to Can a employer demote and take pay away without written notice
Assuming you are an employee at will, yes. The exception to this rule would be if the reason for the demotion violates a law, for example discrimination or retaliation for engaging in protected activity, or if you have an employment contract for a term guaranteeing your position and pay.posted Aug 31, 2016 06:21 AM [EST]
Answer to Can text messages between you and your employer be used as exhibits in a unemployment phone hearing?
The hearing officer was absolutely wrong, the statement of an opposing party is by definition not hearsay. You should definitely appeal.posted Jul 12, 2016 09:31 AM [EST]
You may have a claim under the ADA for failure to accommodate, if they made no effort to truly investigate whether you could do your job or a similar one with the restrictions. Check with your local EEOC office.

Possibly, it depends on what exactly you said about your need for leave or your medical conditions.

It is 12 weeks per year, either per calendar year or on a rolling basis. The employer can choose either one, but if it does not specify which method it is using then you are entitled to take advantage of the method that is most advantageous to you.

Well, they have to pay you any accrued, earned vacation upon termination. If they call it "severance pay," it doesn't really make a difference, unless they are making you sign a release or something else to get it. You shouldn't have to sign any releases in order to get your final paycheck, including unused vacation. For further info check out the Illinois Department of Labor website, where you can get information about filing a charge. Good luck -
