What is the name of your state? CA
We have an employee who has been warned several times about her attendance. She usually doesn't have a doctor's note. She showed up a few weeks ago with a doctor note stating she needs to be off for two weeks for "medical reasons." She brought in another note extending the time off for another two weeks. Today, she called to say she might be in tomorrow, ahead of schedule. She says we can't fire her because she's on disability, but she admits that she doesn't know if the state has processed her paperwork and we haven't been contacted by anyone. She also wants to be allowed to work part-time. She refuses to tell us the nature of her disability, and we noticed that the time off she's taken coincides with the criminal trial of her relative.
a. How many employees does your employer have at your location? Overall? 5 Full-time employees, 2 part-timers.
b. How long have you worked for this company? She has been with us 7 ½ months.
c. How much TOTAL time (including any sick, vacation or personal time used for this purpose) have you missed due to injury or illness in the last twelve months? Until this incident, she’d missed work 13 times, some full days, some partial days. For this incident, she’s missed a total of 15 days.
