My friend was on medical leave since March 26th and informed her senior via text message. On April 7th, her senior called and said they had hired a replacement and she shouldn’t return. She had a doctor’s note. Despite multiple calls and emails over the next week, the company didn’t respond. On April 15th, they sent a warning letter with a 15-day notice of termination. My friend replied with her medical documentation. What legal options do we have now?

Your friend has grounds to contest the termination. Her medical leave was valid, and the company’s failure to respond to her communications and subsequent warning without considering her medical documentation suggests a potential violation of employment laws. She should seek legal advice to explore options like filing a grievance or a lawsuit for wrongful termination.
