I work for a food distributer that has a "NO Excuse" attendance policy. I have had to go to work with a fever of 102 degrees. I recieved an "occurance" when I left to take my wife to the emergency room, and another for taking my step son to the emergency room. I can be fired if enough occurances build up, and they base that number from person to person. If I take 3 days off for the flu, and I had just taken one of my kids to hospital a few weeks before, then I could be suspended or even fired. Depending on what my employer feels is fitting. Should I be working around food when I am contageous, and can't I take an immediate family memeber to the hospital without worrying wether or not I will still have a job?
