There is not enough information to analyze if your termination was unlawful. Without knowing more, depending on the duration of your leave, the size of the company, and other circumstances, you may or may not have a claim under the FMLA or the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination, which requires employers to provide a reasonable accommodation to employees with a disability. Assuming that your termination was not unlawful, company-wide notification of your separation should not be an issue.
