I was terminated earlier today because I missed work because I had to see the doctor for my toe. I dropped something on it a few months back and it's now growing in, due to the pain, I wanted to have a doctor look at it to ensure it was not becoming ingrown. I haven't been able to walk without pain since thursday, does this fall under Wrongful termination?

It was not a wrongful term, no. Standby though for someone to pop in to comment on perhaps any FMLA issue.

As written, no; this is not a wrongful term (or even close).

Let's see if more facts will change this:

1.) How long have you worked for this employer?

2.) How many employers does this employee have within 75 miles of your location?

3.) In the last 12 months, have you worked a minimum of 1,250 hours?

4.) How much time, total, have you missed FOR THIS CONDITION?
