Generally speaking, when out on FMLA or disablity, most employers do not have to keep your position open due to 'needs of the business', but when you return do have to offer you a similar job or term you at that time. You are the 2nd person that I know who was terminated while out on FMLA. FIGHT those bastards.

Enterprise has history of federal violations with the EPA and if DOT ever inspected some of the vehicles that they put on the road.....If I was supposed to be there one day that is a joke they got rid of me 11 days before I was released by my doctor then told me I could look online to see if there is anything I would like to do(car prep). I like your idea of fighting them , although jousting windmills while trying to find another job is just not that apealing. It's too bad good companies are handed down to greedy children, who could give a shit about anything but the "bottom line".

Just like in office space, I just decided not to go anymore.

They sent me a letter and said if I didn't contact them by a certain date that it'll be considered as my resignation.

I then collected unemployment without any problems. There is hope out there.

Soak them for as long as you can. Good luck!

I own a company with employees, so I can tell you how it works a little bit at least in the states we operate. Every business pays into a state pool for unemployment. There is an annual threshold after which the company is no longer required to pay in. The threshold is based upon the number of employees you have working in a given state. So, if there are 2,000 ERAC employees in a state, they pay for 2,000 employees, but they only pay maybe 2% for the first 10K in wages for an employee in a given year - so $200. It is different from state to state, but we have employees in multiple states, and they are pretty similar.

The rate you pay is based on unemployment claims during the year. If you don't have any claims, your rate will be pretty low - 1.5 to 2% maybe. If you have claims it can rise quickly - up to 5 or 6% even.

So, let's use our 2,000 person example: ERAC has 2,000 EE's in a state. They pay 2% on each person's first 10K in wages for the year. So assumably they would owe 10,000 x .02 x 2000 = $400K during that year.

Now, if they start getting claims that cause them to be paid from the state pool, and their rate rises to 5%, the math becomes 10,000 x .05 x 2000 = $1,000,000.

Chances are it wouldn't be as drastic as this unless they had alot of claims, because it is also based on how much of the state pool was drained for these claims. The state will "true up" your account by forecasting your cost to them in the following year.

Does that help?
