Yes. This happened to me in June. I did not qualify for FMLA because I wasn't employed for at least 1 year. If I had been, I would have been able to take up to 3 months off. However, I was not fired for being inpatient. they didn't know I was there. They also didn't know I had a mental illness. They said they couldn't hold my job open for me for more than 2 weeks because there was no one else to do my work and pick up the slack. I did have a doctor's note the whole time but it didn't matter. I didn't qualify for FMLA. So legally, that was not discrimination.
