I get a call from my manager while I was still in the hospital with my baby in the NICU saying that my insurance will be canceled on the 30th. She called me on the 20th, so a ten day notice. I received a letter from my insurance provider saying the reasoning was because I reduced my hours, but I only did that because my doctor advised me to. My doctor wrote a note saying my hours should be adjusted and I gave it to my manager. She was fine with changing my schedule and even came up with what my new schedule would be. Nothing about my insurance being canceled or anything was discussed prior. There was no contact or anything in writing that I signed about my reduced hours. The only time I was told about this was when she called me on the 20th. I was obviously in shock (and sleep deprived from just having a baby), so I didn't ask any questions, but she also didnt give me time to talk because she just said “Have a good day” and hung up (didnt even ask how my baby was or how I was doing). I'm pretty sure I am a protected employee, because I was on maternity leave and I also had a doctor's note for my reduced hours. Am I wrong? Can someone let me know if this was legal or not?
