I have returned to work after three weeks of FMLA. I was on disability for a nervous breakdown that should of been forseen months prior. The day I crashed I again was over an hour late for work and in which was considered a "no call/no show" all though I called and showed. The day I returned I had been told that I couldn't work split shgifts as my doctor recommended. I went higher up to a dept. manager in which was told to get the hours she orders for me to work. I did this . The doctor gave instructions for me to only work mon- fri 8am 12 noon then 4pm - 8pm mon thru friday. When scheduling myself my supervisor still made me schedule 16hours of weekend hours in which start at 6am. I have now my last no call no show because i was late on saturday . I called at 7:30am schdl. at 6am. I know I would of been fired tomorrow but chose not to wait and left. I want my rights if any. This is a corporation in whuch I made alot of money for and on my return I was given papers to sign I>J>I>J in which shall have kept me from leaving my level and being promoted. I cried when I was to sign another form that would keep me with my supervisor . Help

Try calling your local bar association to see if they can give you a referral.
Good Luck.
If you company had a work rule regarding notice of absence or lates within a specified timeframe of your scheduled shift, and you failed to give the notice, then this may not be covered as excused FMLA because it is a work rule. You can be excused for an FMLA qualifying event and still receive a disciplinary warning for a violation of a work rule. Obtain a copy of the Federal Reg. Part 825 and read through the discussion areas surrounding FMLA protection.
