I live in Wyoming and work for a LARGE national corporation ~ I am an hourly employee, with paid vacation (not usuable for sick days) ~ We have a no fault attendance policy that was made affective after our Union contract.. so it is not in our Union book. It is based on "points" which are given for being late, tardy, or absent (for any fault not of the company). I have never had a problem in any of these area's... until recently. I received a points for twice in 60 days being sick with a doc's note each time, 1 minute late (REALLY) to a before work safety meeting (but got there well before the meeting started), and because my son's school called me to come pick him up due to a high fever and my wife was at an appointment and couldn't be reached. I have been suspended for 3 days without pay... and told that if I get sick, or for any other reason miss work within the next 30 days I will be terminated! Is this legal??????? I see there is a Federal Family Medical Leave Act, but it appears to only cover serious illness... what about an individual getting sick as everyone will sometime or another??? Or having to pick up a sick child?? ARGHHHH ~ it seems so unfair and unreasonable!
