Thin Privilege posted:Problem is that I didn't show up a few times recently cause I've been sick. Obviously I got write ups. So I'm screwed. I don't have doctors notes cause I didn't go to the doctor and was just in bed for the most part except to feed my cats. Nah, I bolded the reason why.

Modest Mao posted:I don't think medical reasons are covered by at-will so if your boss fired you when you were sick I'd have a law office send a letter or w/e and get some money FMLA doesn't apply for acute illnesses. If it was something due to a disability then sure. For a cold or flu or similar it doesn't apply.

Thesaurus posted:Sick leave, or any leave at all--even unpaid--is not required by law Mostly true, but in Minneapolis, MN we passed a sick and safe time law that allows for all employees that work in Minneapolis (temp, full time, part time, etc) to take time off for their own illness or a family member's illness. It can also be used in other scenarios like dealing with domestic violence or some other stuff. All employees also accrue hours that they can use to be paid for that missed time. Tim Walz is looking to try and get the state legislature to pass similar at the state level; which would be awesome.
