Was contracted through a temp agency and promised direct hire after 6 months. Little to say 6 months passed and my supervisor got fired as he was trying to get us on boarded. The next supervisor told us to give him 6 months so he can rate our performance. During that period of time my wife got pregnant and was a high risk pregnancy. I made both the staffing agency and actual company aware of it.

Fast forward to my wifes 8th month of pregnancy I notified them about FMLA leave since I was not eligible for the companies paternity leave. During this time we had just switched supervisors again. Right before the new one I had my one on one and was rated as top 25 employee. The next month with the new one I was bottom of the barrel (mind you i had not even been working a whole month under him nor did he ever even step in to do his job). A Monday came around for my one on one and he asked about my fmla. I explained the situation that i couldnt qualify for paternity and he said “so your just securing your job?” I said pretty much. Wednesday of that week I was let go without any reason behind it. I asked if it was attendance or performance and was given no response. Can I take any legal action?

So I was contracted through a temp agency for my previous job, from the beginning they promised a contract to hire in 6 months. 6 months passed and my supervisor got fired. With that being said new supervisor said he had to see our performance before bringing us on. Its now been a year and my wife is pregnant with a high risk pregnancy. Immediately notified my supervisor just in case for emergencies.

Fast forward to her 8 month I had just got approval to get fmla set up since I didnt qualify for paternity. At this same time we got a new supervisor. From the get go he was very pushy towards me. Said I should have been let go due to my tardies from doctors appointments that my previous supervisor was well aware of. Went from top 25 employee one month to needs improvement the next with this new supervisor. Had my one on one with him on a Monday asked me what my fmla was for and just said ok. Come Wednesday that week I was notified I had been let go.

All of my FMLA paperwork was filled out already and both my staffing agency and contractor company were aware. I feel like it was done in retaliation. I have no access to my monthly one on ones how it just drastically changed. Is there any legal process I can pursue?
