What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan
I am paid as a salary employee at my current job at a catering company. My job consists duties which as contrast heavily in physical activity. For certain parts of the day I am expected to lift heavy items, do deliveries, dishes, grocery shopping ect. While other parts of my day consist of answering phone, email and general office work. I don't not have a set time that work begins or ends every day, I simply come in whenever I am told that I am needed & leave whenever everything that want me to do is done.
This past friday I put in my two-week notice at my job. After doing so all of the passwords on the email, calendar and phone were changed rendering me incapable of doing the office duties for the last two-weeks of my job. That Saturday I became ill and was admitted to the ER. Due to my illness my doctors excused me from work for a whole week (1 week of the 2 week notice I gave them). Throughout my illness I have been more than diligent in communicating my progress and I have provided my employers the doctors notes that "their accountant required of me".
My doctors have cleared me to return to work tomorrow (Monday), however due to my condition & the medications I am on there a certain restrictions as far as what I am able to do; my doctor advised me against driving & lifting heavy items which is half of my job duties. I have communicated via phone (voicemail since they don't answer), email, and text to my employers numerous times throughout this week and I have not gotten any responses from them.
Today I called and left a voicemail trying to touch base with them and see when they need me in for work and what they would like me to work on within my restrictions. My boss texted me back that her husband was in the hospital and I would need to come in on Friday to "wrap everything up" and "return keys". As she was preoccupied with her husband I texted rather than called her back to ask yet again what time she wanted me to come into work tomorrow and what needed to get done within my restrictions. I have NOT gotten any response! I am confused as to if they think that because I was Ill that they can just count that as me quitting (and they don't have to pay me my salary), or if they are trying to in-directly fire me due to my limited abilities.
So what I am suppose to do? - Go into work at whatever time I choose and hope that someone is there (no-one keeps consistent office hours) to given me direction and tell me what needs to be done? OR are they not expecting me at all. There actions and communication just seem shady to me.
