This question is about stress leave at work.

Can I be fired while on stress leave?

By Zippia Team - Mar. 27, 2023

If your stress leave falls under FMLA or another law, then you cannot be fired while on stress leave. FMLA and other Federal or state protections can protect you while you miss work due to medical reasons. Note that there are usually time limits regarding how much leave you can take and still be protected under law.

Additionally, your company's policy may protect you as well, especially if you are a member of a union and have a collective bargaining agreement with your employer.
