A grieving mother has claimed she was fired from her banking job of 30 years while she was on Family Medical Leave to take care of her dying daughter battling breast cancer.
According to WZZM 13, Terri Estepp, a former longtime employee of Huntington Bank, used up the majority of her vacation days and paid time off to tend to her daughter Samantha who was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer while living in California in April 2023.
It was gathered that her daughter’s condition worsened a year later.
Estepp said she used four of her 12 weeks of the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), a federal law that requires employers to provide job-protected, unpaid leave for medical and family reasons to be with her daughter while she underwent treatment.
