I hope someone has the answer for my question...I've been employeed at my job for alomst three weeks. I called in sick and the General Manager called me to tell me to bring in my keys and work shirts. When I asked why? She said that I have to talk to the boss when he gets back from vacation next Saturday. Is this legal??? Can I be fired for calling in sick and have always showed up for work, never been late and doing my job? Can someone please help me.
Thank-You. |

You don't even come close to be eligable for FMLA as you have to be with the employer a year and you don't have any protection under the law.. Just because you are out sick doesn't give your employer doesn't have to hold your job for you or accept your being out sick as an excuse. Your employer hasn't done anything illegal.

I'm no lawyer, but I think your employee handbook would explain that you have the right to call in even if it occurs during the first 3 week of employment.
Your handbook should explain, how to call in (how many hrs ahead, notice of sick call out should be given to supervisor, general switchboard,etc.) Your handbook should explain how many times you are allowed to call in, even if it's during your probationary period. If you have followed these rules and guidelines, then you should not be terminated. senise13@aol.com |
