What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? San Francisco, CA
So I worked at a left handed store, during my time working there my health began to slip, I had to start taking medication and working shorter shifts. I started taking my sick pay and my manager looked at me like he was disgusted, the next week I come into work and my hours have been severely cut and I had a meeting with the owner and my manager immediately after my shift. My condition is worsened when I have to use the rest room, I was going to use the rest room, focus my mind and go to the meeting. Instead the manager escorts me from the store to the meeting. I feel the beginning of a panic attack coming on. They hit me with a reprimand for inproper language in a communication log and a negative attitude. They berated me and were trying to say I had never told them about my medical condition, I kept my manager up to date, every step of the way. I try to explain calmly about my condition, how I can't work 8 hour shifts at that time, that I needed to be able to use the rest room when I had to (there would sometimes be 2 hour gaps where I couldn't use the restroom), that working morning was better than nights and that I was on antidepressants and trying my best to be there for them. They said they understood, but kept pushing me to sign the reprimand. I was in full on panic attack mode by this point, trying not to cry in front of them, I told them I was having troubles sorting out my thoughts right now, but they kept urging me to sign, saying the owner had some where to be. I was too flustered too wright anything in my defense and just signed the paper. The next week I had fewer hours and they were all at night (with a 2 and a half hour gap where I couldn't use the rest room). They completely disregarded my medical condition as I told it to them and scheduled me the complete opposite of what I had pleaded to them for. For the next few weeks I was on night shifts and my mental and physical health was slipping. We were having a store meeting and I was voicing all my concerns about the store, products, promotions, stuff of that nature. She completely batted away all of our questions making it very obvious that she wanted to talk not listen. She said something I had a lot to say about so I silently raised my hand, she told me to put my hand down while she was talking. I told her that this is a free country and that I'm sitting and waiting for my turn to speak, she then told me to get out of the meeting, and kicked me out. The next week I was scheduled one shift, I switched with someone and my manager asked me to come in the next day, not to work. I was given a final termination notice. I feel like I was very very wronged. I have many doctors notes from that period and the doctor actually made me take some time off, which I didn't use any sick pay on. They say it was about my attitude but it seems that they didn't like me using my sick pay, or didn't believe I was sick. Is there anything I can do?
