HUNTINGTON — A former employee says Wayne Nursing & Rehabilitation Center discriminated against him and caused him to resign from his employment.
Randall Fetty began working for the nursing home in 2016 as a maintenance supervisor and suffered a stroke on Feb. 27, according to a complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia.
Fetty claims he applied for and was approved for Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) leave and used that leave over several months. He was told on June 1 that he needed to supply a return to work release from the doctor who had certified his FMLA application, but that doctor was out of town and without that signature, he was unable to return to work.
Fetty claims he resigned from his position because he mistakenly believed he had no other choice.
Fetty is seeking compensatory and punitive damages. He is being represented by Hoyt Glazer of Glazer Saad Anderson.
