What is the name of your state? Louisiana.
I was working for a grocery store. I have a long running history of back pain, which my boss knew about, and it had flaired up. Unfortunately, none of the free clinics would give the medicine I know works, so I was getting worse. My boss offered to give me some weeks off so I could mend. I said I really didn't want the time off, cause I needed to come in as much as I could to work. One morning my back was just shot, but I came into work, worked for a couple hours, and then couldn't do anymore. When I told her about it, I told her that I needed to go home and that I would come in tomorrow if I could, but it wasn't looking good, and I had a doctor's appointment in a couple days. When I came to look at my schedule after getting my prescription I found I wasn't on it, I assumed she had given me that week off to recoup anyway. When I wasn't on the schedule the following week I asked her what was going on. She then told me that I went home early one day without telling anyone (the day I talked to her) and the next day I did a 'no call no show' (the day I told her I didn't think I was coming in) and that was cause for immediate termination. No warning, no write up, nothing. Can she do that?
