My problem.
I have been employed at with my employer for 2 1/2 years. My employer allows 1 day a month paid sick leave, total of 12 per year. Including this month of Aug. i should have 8 days. since Jan. i have missed 4 days sick leave, until this past week. I have been having female problems, the only solution to it is to have surgery, the big yank everything out. I have been putting it off, due to i know my employer will not go for 4-6 weeks recovery time. this past week my boss was gone on vacation, and i ended up in the emergency room, due to this problem. i received instructions to not return to work for 3 days. i was to stay home with feet propped up. today when my boss got back, he called me into his office, and told me that i should have tuffed it out. i could not stand up without major pain. he stated that he did not care if it was an emergency or not and that if my health is that bad, then he will find some one to replace me, cause he cannot have me being gone. if i don't have the surgery, i will only continue to loose days, due to it. if i have the surgery, then i will loose my job. there has been other employees that have taken off for up to a month for surgeries, and he did not say a word. there are employees that take off every other week for being sick, If i miss a day, i make it up during that pay period. i believe in being fair. my questions are 1. what are my rights to keep my job if i have the surgery, and 2. Is this considered discrimative towards me, since he has allowed other employees to take off for surgeries or whatever.
My employer has about 25 employees, and he is a collection attorney.
thank you and sorry so long.
