I work in a day care, while I've been pregnant I've gotten sick multiple times. (Strep, and bronchitis) obviously I don't want to get the kids sick so I call out for a day. My manager wants to have a meeting with me tomorrow when I go back in to talk about me missing work... Wtf am I supposed to tell her? I get its bad to miss work but why would they want me there when I'm coughing up a lung?! I know if the parents saw me they would be upset I was around their kid! It's not like I can take anything to prevent getting sick... I wish they would understand!
I would point out that any parent who had seen you might have started a lawsuit against the daycare for you working while you were that sick! !
just remember if they threaten to fire you you have the law on your side and you'll get unemployment which they will have to pay for. I had to take my son to the hospital and my company wrote me up for missing work. I got really mad and told them if they fired me they would have to pay unemployment because the law protects me! !
@islanddreamer07, even if I've only been there for about a month and a half? And that's what I've told them before, that I don't want the parents getting upset Bc I'm sick. And they agreed, which is why I would think they would understand! Two of the children's parents are even lawyers!!!!
