What is the name of your state? TN
A few weeks ago while I was at work I blacked out. After running many tests the doctors placed me on leave until they figure out what is causing them. After reporting this to my HR dept. they said if I needed to be out more then 2 weeks I will be fired. Its coming up on 2 weeks now and wanting to know where I stand. They mailed me a form to fill out that request my Doctor to say I can not perform my duties at work. Should I fill it out? They said if i would fill it out for them they wouldn't fire me, but that just seems odd.
At this time I am not covered under FMLA due to not working for them 12 months. I am missing the deadline by about a month or so. While speaking to the HR department they said I could file for short term disabilty if I wasn't terminated before filing.
I tried to do a search for TN laws, but couldn't find anything about it. This is not a pre existing condition. It just started about a month ago.
Any input that you can offer me would be great.
Thanks again,
Barrt
