Do I have legal recourse?

Upon return to work from FMLA for back surgery, my second day back I was presented with a 30day performance improvement request. The items mentioned in this request also included and stated absenteism. I have all proper documents for each day missed. Plus FMLA back-up. This is an employment at will contract and I was fired 10 days after the notice was given.

See a Lawyer

The Family & Medical Leave Act is complicated, but your rights under that law may have been violated. This is a time when a one-on-one consultation with a lawyer is advisable. The Dallas lawyers identified on this web site should be sufficiently well-versed in the law to answer your question. You may have to pay them for the time they spend advising you, but wouldn't you pay a doctor to spend time advising you about an injury or illness?

Good luck.
