You need to see an employment and labor attorney in your area, to get reliable advice based on all the unique facts of your case. One place to look for counsel is our website, http://attorneypages.com
There are a number of laws that may provide help for you here, including the federal Family and Maternity Leave Act (FMLA). Some of the things that come into play in a case like this include how long you are out of work, and if your job is just one of several that are like it that are eliminated. There are some seemingly small details that can make a big difference at times.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The Answer(s) provided above are for general information only. The attorney providing the answer was not serving as the attorney for the person submitting the question or in any attorney-client relationship with such person. Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved. Unlike the information in the Answer(s) above, upon which you should NOT rely, for personal advice you can rely upon we suggest you retain an attorney to represent you.
