What are my options other than FMLA if there are under 15 employees where I work?
Had to have extensive surgery on my wrist and will be out of work for 6-8 weeks. We have less than 15 employees so I don't qualify for FMLA. Can they fire me or lay me off? What other options do I have so they don't

You do not have any formal rights, such as FMLA, however, this does not mean you will be terminated. I am assuming that the surgery is not from a work related injury that requires Workers Comp leave. If my assumption is correct, then you should talk to the employer/owner and see how much they will accommodate your missing time. You need to know what kind of rehabilitation time you require to have a good discussion related to the job you do for the employer.
