What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Tennessee
I have a question that hopefully I can get help with. I have recently been suspended from work for a week. When i went to work on Monday, I was told to clock out and go home for not showing up on a non scheduled work day for myself. I have emailed the company owner and got a reply back saying that showing up for work that non scheduled day is not really what is at fault, its that I have been absent or tardy for work 20 times in the last six months. I am a single parent of two children. I have to be off work when they are sick or have to go to the doctors and have gotten doctor excuses for being absent. This all comes the week of my daughters scheduled surgery, which I have to be off work to take care of her beccause she is not allowed to go back to school until doctor releases her. I feel discriminated against because I have children that I have to take care of and working a full time job to support them, and now going to lose my job because I have missed too many days to take care of my children.
