Now that you have free time... you can go Pro Se and come up with a nice lawsuit to get your job back. Or possibly you can negotiate with the HR department at the company on the matter. If you can construct a compelling arguement and show them that they are not at risk for not having that form and number.. then it may be an alternative.

Most sheeple HR directors have never been sued on this.. but it is a cut and dry win. If it were me I would sue for actual damages and punitive damages .. hit 'em where it hurts.. the wallet.

I personally know someone who sued Erie County, New York for being fired over a similar issue a few years before his pension and retirement. His lawsuit took almost a year, but he got over 100K and his job back. It was kind of cool because he was a "in your face" kind of guy and he really wanted the county job back just so he could say he did it... he was literally untouchable at the county because they would have needed an order from the surpeme court to fire him again.
