Is this correct on a seperation notice from my employer??
I was pregnant, and did not have short-term disability insurance through my company, so I took the 12 weeks unpaid FMLA. While on leave I decided that I would not be returning, so 2 weeks before I was scheduled to return, I submitted a formal letter of resignation to the company. I recently recieved a seperation notice in the mail from them, and underneath the reason for leaving, they put "Did not return after leave". Although I can't see where I would need to show this, it is a legal document and it seems like the reason that was put implied that I quit without notice and will make a negative impact on me for future employment should a hiring company contact them for information. It could be easily turned around and be said they fired me for not returning after my leave, rather than I submitted a resignation letter. Should/could this be changed to say I simply resigned from my position?? Does this seem fair to me? Does it even matter?
**The reason I said that it can easily be said that I was fired rather than I resigned is because this is not a very reputable company who has a HIGH turnover rate of all staff, including HR..and most times they just say what they want. I worked there for a while...I know.

Employers can do and say whatever they want and suffer no repercussion. I was doing private duty nursing. I was rushed to the hospital and my husband called to say I could not work because of being in the hospital. Know what they did? They called me in the hospital and fired me saying these exact words. "I'm sorry you're in the hospital, but that is unacceptable" I was floored. i went to a lawyer to file a suite for unjustifiable termination and 2 lawyers told me that they can do whatever they want. There is no law to protect us from losers like that. They know it and get away with it. When you go for another job, don't give them as a reference.

You are over-reacting. It's basically true.
The real question is this one: did you have medical insurance coverage while out on FMLA. If the employer paid any portion of that benefit, they can make you pay it back if you do not return when you FMLA runs out.
