If your employer terminated you because you took FMLA covered leave, it doesn't matter that they lost the paperwork, especially if you have a copy. The important question is whether that was the reason they terminated your employment. If so, you may have a claim.

You should see a lawyer in your area. Go to OELASmart.net and click on the city nearest you. The cities are in the footer of each page.
