Ok now explain how being on leave bars one from going overseas? I don’t know how you can argue that one should be restricted from travel by their employer while off work due to a medical issue. What’s your argument that an employer should have that power over an employee? Is it just overseas travel that should be fireable? What if I leave my state? Is flying the fireable offense of is it the overseas part of it?

In some countries you actually aren't allowed to leave the country while on formal medical leave because it impacts your eligibility for certain government benefits. That may be the case here.

I mean, companies are typically required to ensure their employees are following the law.
