I'm from Ohio and my employer is about to implement a new attendance policy which they consider a "no fault" policy with a point system. The problem I'm having is that I am 4 months pregnant and I experience severe morning sickness. I got a doctors note to tell my employer that more than likely I will be late because of my morning sickness, but he told me that the note didn't matter. If I was late, I was going to get points as if I were late for no reason at all. My question is, can they disregard a doctors note? I have tried to get up earlier to have some extra time, but it doesn't really seem to matter what time I get up, I'm sick until about 8:00 every morning...therefore I would be getting enough points to get me into a lot of trouble...even fired. Please let me know if he can do this. Thank you for your time.
