What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana
I have been approved for FMLA at work for a chronic and intermittent condition. Can my employer require me to get a doctors note every time I go over the doctors monthly estimate? I went over 2 hours one month and 5 hours another month. Both times I had to get a doctors excuse.
Also, the last time I requested leave for 4 hours, it was denied. They said I had to call in by 6 Am (the start of my shift), I said I was not able to due to one of my conditions. I usually have 1 or 2 episodes per year that don't allow me to follow that rule. They sent me back home that day that I called in late. They let me come in the following day, then gave me a written reprimand, the rest of day off without pay and next day off without pay.
Do I have any legal recourse or are they within their rights?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
