Question:
Mary Delaney worked as a data entry clerk at Signature Health Care Foundation, a nonprofit organization that provides physical therapy services to its clients. Shortly after she began her employment, she learned that her brother needed a kidney transplant in order to survive a condition that was causing his kidneys to fail. Delaney underwent testing and learned that she was a match to donate her kidney to her brother. She informed Signature that she was going to proceed with the donation and that she would require four weeks of leave from work for the surgery and recovery. Signature initially approved the request; however, three days before the scheduled surgery, Signature changed course and notified Delaney that it could not hold open her position for four weeks. It then discharged Delaney. Does Delaney have a viable claim for wrongful discharge?
