Hi, I am an employee of a manufacturing company since June 22, and I had an accident on the 5th of November '22 while on the job. I have an injury on my right arm, which is paralyzed about 80%, and I have been receiving treatment since then.
After a telephonic discussion (I called him) with my manager on the 22nd of April '23, he informed me that a new person had been hired to replace me, and I was terminated. How can the company make such a decision without prior notice? What steps should I take now? I would appreciate your assistance with this issue.

It is unfortunate that you were fired despite your physical issues. The employer should not have done so without exploring and finding alternative solutions. However, they might have done so based on their business exigencies, which we don't know.
