What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
I had been on disability from 8/12 for PTSD, stress, and major depression. I just returned back to work last Thursday the 14th. Upon my return I met with my manager and she informed me that my work schedule effective immediately would change from 8:30am - 5:30pm to 10:00am - 7:00pm. I am now pregnant and in my first trimester. I am at my most ill later in the evening so my midwife wrote a letter for me today to request that my hours be adjusted to accomodate me with my original schedule. I tried to speak with my manager about the hardship the new schedule would be for me, but she would not allow me to change my hours. I have not yet given her the not from my midwife. But if I do, is my employer at all obligated to accomodate the request? And if they are not, can they use this as grounds for termination?
