Employer Miscommunication And Ada

Summary

The situation involves potential ADA compliance and wrongful termination issues. Employers must provide reasonable accommodations under the ADA and communicate clearly about leave policies and return-to-work dates. If termination is based on miscommunication or inaccurate information, it might be contestable. Consider reviewing ADA guidelines, documenting all communications, and consulting an employment lawyer for further advice.

This is Ada, not fmla. There’s an employee handbook but the employer has not issued anything directly to her other than advising her leave was unapproved based on their made up return to work date. Attached is the handbook.
Thank you for sharing the details. It seems like there might be issues regarding the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and potential wrongful termination. Here are some key points to consider:
- ADA Compliance: Employers are required to provide reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities.
- Communication: Employers must clearly communicate leave policies and return-to-work dates.
- Wrongful Termination: If termination was based on inaccurate information or miscommunication, it might be contestable.
Have you reviewed the handbook for any specific policies on job abandonment or leave?
An Unapproved Leave of Absence An employee is considered to be on an unapproved leave of absence if the employee: • is absent from work for more than eight (*) consecutive calendar days and has not initiated a Short Term Disability (STD) claim with the AIG Benefits Service Center; • does not return to work after the employee’s approved leave has ended; or • fails to submit the documentation required to support or extend any medical leave has not been submitted to AIG’s Benefits Service Center.

It sounds like there may be potential issues regarding ADA compliance and wrongful termination. Here are some considerations:
- If the employer failed to communicate clearly and accurately about the return-to-work date, it could be problematic.
- The employer must adhere to their own policies, which might include allowing corrections to documentation.
A thorough review of the employee handbook for specifics on leave and job abandonment policies is necessary. Would you like more information on how to proceed legally?
yes.

In all instances physician documentation of the disability must be submitted within eighteen (*) days of the start date of the leave in order to be eligible for the leave. If the employee is unable to personally call his or her manager, a friend or family member of the employee may notify the employee’s manager on the employee’s behalf. Medical provider documentation of the disability supporting the leave must be submitted within eighteen (*) days of the start of the leave, or the leave may be denied and income replacement benefits may be stopped pending approval of the leave. The employee may be required to repay income replacement benefits received for any portion of the time off that has been paid but not ultimately approved under plan guidelines, HRSS will notify the employee of any overpayment due. Does this apply?

an employee sends in medical certificate for leave on Ada may *, then gets a letter may * indicating a wrong return to work date for the * which they didn’t know about or receive any call then was contacted on the 16th due to job abandonment based on them being released to work. And after the employee rebuttals and requests to send the correct certification in which the employer declined standing on unapproved leave and job abandonment. Is there any violation? The employee has been out since January and timely given all documents each month for extensions with approval each month. The certification says July *. The medical examiner confirmed the mistake regarding rtw but the employer refused to cooperate.
