Sorry i don't know if this is the right place to post but....
I was recently hurt and broke my hand but not on the job, it happened over the weekend. Also i work fulltime 45+ hours a week. After i had surgery on my hand and had a hard cast over my right hand, and also im right handed. For more info i do computer networking, so both hands are pretty much needed. I got a doctors note that noted i couldn't work for 4 weeks, or i shouldn't really move my hand.. I took about 10 business days off, and was pretty much forced back to work by my manager after 2 weeks, but i still had a 4 weeks note from the doctor, so i went back to work with one hand because they said its not right and i should be working. Im ok with that, but today as i finally got my cast removed, I asked before if i would be able to go home to shower, because of the smell and my hand still hurt. They had me come back in to show my hand? then after they saw it was still damaged they let me go home, but the thing is as i was leaving my vice president said to me, "Hey you know you have no more vacation days" Because of my injury, their saying i used all my vacation days. But #1 they never said anything like that until today when my cast was removed so i had no idea. #2 i was forced to come back to work with a 4 weeks doctor note, which meant to me they didnt care about my injury. #3 We're a small company kind of new and the owner is korean, and their company policy is not CA standard and their policies arent really solid, everything is in the air. So my question is, is it possible that they can take away my vacation days? Did i really have to come to work when i wasn't fully healed? Would i be able to make a claim to EDD for unemployment if I was to quit? What type of claim can i file? What can i do i feel like their forcing me to quit. Help is needed im really confused and pissed off right now.
Thanks
