| Is this company dodging responsibility?
What is the name of your state? MA
I accepted a new position. During the interview, I told the interviewers, I was not be willing to accept calls 24/7 unless it was an emergency and I could not work long hours continuously. This wa due to a medical condition. They understood and assured me it would be in emergency situations only.
I was transferred from Ga to the position in Ma. Company paid for moving expenses. During a return trip home to move, I was involved in an auto accident,not my fault. Injury had me incapacitated to perform my duty at work. The management had changed and the new managment required long hours, Which I informed the personnel director and the GM I could do so only for a couple od days a week. When they required more, I became sick and had to send a doctor's note on a Friday to return. The note stated my medical condition. Later when company was notified surgery is likely due to the the accident, I was dismissed and was told to sign a termination form absolving the company of any liability in order to receive a servance pay. Since the move was related to the job, do they have any responsibility for STD/LTD pay, if needed? Anything about their action is illigal? It does not smell right. |
