This is happen during mid 1980's I think at local restaurant (not a corporate/chain restaurant). My wife and her mother worked in a local restaurant, she cut her hand badly enough for stitches. She did obtain a doctor's note restraining her from returning until it healed. However, the part owner of restaurant fired her for refusing to come to work. It was said he quoted he didnt care/ignored fact of doctor's note refraining from work.
Now years later, I told story to my restaurant managers,, they said PA is an "At-Will" Policy giving any employer the right to fire, no matter.
Does the At-Will Policy apply or does physical injury with a doctor's note supersede which would result as a wrongful termination.
