| I recently was injured at work and had to have surgery on a hernia I got from working. My job did not want me to miss any days so I had surgery on a Friday and back to work on Monday. The Surgeon made it clear that I was not to be working, Standing, Pushing, Pulling, Bending over. Two days went by and I had a Supervisor telling me to do certain task witch require bending over and pulling. I told the supervisor that I could not do it. But that didn''t seem to matter to her. Last Friday they put me back in the plant on the line. And I still haven''t been cleared by the Doctor . well I twisted and Felt a sharp ripping feeling. I went and told the nurse and he told me to go home. I went home and was in ALOT of pain so I went to the ER. I went to work today and they attempted to suspend me from work for going to the ER.. IS any of this against the law???? OR CAn i Sue them??? It has affected me mentally physicality and financial and socially. Thanks!

| Can my job require me to obtain a letter from my doctor about my health and treatment? |
| I work in Illinois and have been diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis as well as sjogren''s disease. My employer is now pressuring me to obtain a letter outlining my condition, treatment, effects and future appointments.

| I am being written up for excessive absenteeisms, although I''ve asked them for relief as migraines are recognized by the ADA.Our handbook says that perfumes are discouraged especially if they cause a health hazard, and when I bring this up to them all I get is people have a right to wear their perfumes. Now where we work ( Amtrak) it is not a part of any thing we sell, so not anything other than a vanity,I was told to report any one who was wearing excessive perfume, and when I did, I was pulled off the phones by a supervisors and berated ,told I need to buck up, and assume more responsibility, Which I have considering I have done everything in my power outside of a lobotomy, and they have only allowed me to move positions if I smell strong perfume(which is ineffective as the odor is trigger, so the migraine is now triggered),I have had to leave work untold hours due to management refusing to address the issue that they have in their own handbook, I need to know what are my rights ? |
