I work for the State of Tennessee. Each month I accrue 7.5 hrs. of sick time and 11.3 hours of annual time. My doctor put me on a six-week sick leave. I used both my sick and annual time for this leave.This facility was anticipiating an LPN program. I applied and was not accepted as a candidate because the Program Coordinator informed me that I had used too many sick days in a year. My doctor had excused me from work on all of the 17 days due to illness. I called the Personnel Director and she advised me that the Policies and Procedures of that facility pertained to my employment and these could not be used for the LPN program.I ask her if the Policies and Procedures did not pertain to the LPN program, how could they hold my sick days against me because my sick time pertains very much so to my employment? She advised me that I would have to talk to someone else?I have learned that one applicant that was accepted into the program has missed in excess of 60 days within a one year period.
