What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
Alaska law. (Right to work state)
I live in Anchorage Alaska. I have been with this company for a couple months almost. And 2 days ago I had a talk with my boss about my Hereditary disease and the effect into the work place. I was born with hemophilia. I told them about this the day they asked me to come in for an interview. I work for a delivery company which requires lifting, pulling, pushing, and moving heavy objects. Well I came in one morning addressing the issue that I had a current injury in my elbow that made it very difficult to move. I also addressed that I was unable to life 100 pounds and that I would have to take it easy that day. Well I found out that even on an easy day that I had not one injury but two that made my arm even worse that very afternoon. I took medicine to try and resolve the injury but It didn't help. I notified my dispatcher that I would be unable to make it to work the next day. Went to my doctors that morning to take my meds again as I needed and received a doctors note to excuse me from work until this was resolved. She then talked to me about how many sick days I had taken already after being on the job for a month and that I was about to exceed my 4 days a year due to 2 days being sick and on drugs and the one day with a liable doctors note. I was able to work just not anything physical with my left arm if needed be. I was told that I was a liability issue to the company and because of my medical status that they did not want a workman's comp filed against them as it is very costly. She told me that I was either going to be terminated or I could work 1-4 hours a day doing transfers. And gave me a day to think about it. I had called her and told her that I did not want to be fired and that I would like to stay and work. Now her excuse was that she had a meeting to attend the next day with her boss's and that she doesn't know the reason to what the meeting is about and will address the concern to me after that. And that I would not be fired but laid off from work.
I would like to know as to how this is viable and acceptable to be told that I am a liability and a major workman's comp claim. I have medical insurance and I pay out the ass for it as the company doesn't have one, so I am covered on my end for any injuries and I can not physically claim something like this against the company as to I can't prove that it came from work. And I would never do such a thing as to I can heal myself within 3-4 days if it is a major internal bleed such as this.
Is their a possibility that she over stepped her bounds by saying that i am a liability and I can take her to court for accusing me of that?
