What is the name of your state? Texas
Does an employer in the state of Texas have the right to require a doctors visit and a copy of the doctors report for taking time off to tend to a sick child? The situation is I took a day off (without pay) to be home with my child who had a simple head cold. (The school does not allow children to stay for even the slightest of temps) The doctor said a visit was not necessary. The absence is considered "unexcused" because I did not take my child to the doctor, and will lead to disciplinary action. All responses will be greatly appreciated!
