Generally speaking, FMLA and Title VII require his employer to let him return to work after a leave of absence. There are a few exceptions to this rule, such as if allowing him to return would cause an undue hardship for his employer.
Your husband should talk right away with an attorney in your state who specializes in wrongful termination or disability discrimination cases.
