Anyone have issues with work?? I havent been able to work all week because ive been very sick and passing out. I ended up in the ER yesterday. My work knows all this and what's going on. I really cannot afford to not be working but my job is also very labor intensive and involves being on my feet all day...which I cant do or I will pass out. I tried asking for light duty and half days but they say they will only offer it if it was a work injury and restrictions come from their workers comp Dr. I am so pissed and this seems so unfair. I need to be working because having a baby (and life in general) is expensive, but they don't seem to care. They say I either work my full job or don't work at all.
Get a medical excuse from your obgyn. They can not force you to preform work you are physically unable to do. Call your doctor and ask them to write you the note so you can take it in.
They said I could do that but they would send it to HR and have it evaluated and determine if they could accommodate. I work at a school and theres only 7 days left and with how slow HR is at this job, I don't think I would get more than a few days of work.
I’m sorry you’re having a hard time. Maybe you need to find a new job. The sad truth is your job still needs to be done and if you cannot get it done they more than likely will find someone who can.
Get a light duty note from your Dr. I was told they have to treat it the same as if it was workers comp.
