Need some advice about NC work rules as they pertain to termination. My wife has started a job as an Xray tech with a hospital that has a no fault occurence policy. Simply put you get an occurence everytime you call in sick for work, a total of 16. Now the quality and availability of day care on the East Coast is deplorable so everytime our son is sick she has to go pick him up, thus adding to her occurences.
Today she had a "talking" to by her supervisors and she was told she is their best tech, but in no uncertain terms if she reaches the 16 occurences she will be fired.
I am curious if it is legal to fire someone for having to leave work to care for a child?
Any help is appreciated.
