I am in California.
My bosses, a married couple who own the company, have recently become extremely hostile toward me and have begun to harrass me and attack my character. I was approved by my direct supervisor (not one of the owners) to leave the office early yesterday and stay home today because of the extreme stress and anxiety this has caused me (they had me in tears at work). I went to my regular MD doctor today about it because I've had nausea, stomach pains and insomnia since this started Tuesday. She has provided me with a release from work for a few additional days as she has found it is due to the enviroment they have created for me to work in.
My boss is stating however, that if I am not in the office tomorrow they are accepting that as my resignation, even though I clearly said I am not resigning and have a doctors release and reccomendation that I not come in again until next week.
They are not stating they are going to fire me, but accept my absence as a resigation, which is in escense firing me, even though I have been in communication with both the owners and my supervisor concerning this and they are fully aware of my doctor's release.
Is this legal?
