Yes, but you will need to bring in a note from your doctor.

Eek. Doctors have to work all the time. They even have to work on christmas. They work in hospitals or in small little offices. They should never develope a relationship with their patients. There are many kinds of doctors. ER Doctors work specificially in the Emergency Room, doctors who give birth, doctors who give shots, etc. They must wash their hand for 2 minutes after helping someone. They must be very clean. They can't turn a patient down. If your teacher wants you to be specific then you should say which kind of doctor you prefer to be. A doctor who gets involved in lots of blood or a doctor who puts bandaides on a little boy who fell of his skateboard.

The Health Department may ask to come and test everyone at your work anyway, but don't worry about it unless you start feeling unwell.\n\nhttp://www.angelic1healing.com

It depends on where you work, if you work at hospital you might be in the filling room, if you work at doctors office you might be doing transcription, filling and paper works for billing section.

Unless the doctor is part of your family, just change.  I live in small town and work for a dr's office. We have had patients that feel that way.  Doctors care about their patients but it won't devastated them if you change to someone else.  Just find a new doctor and have them request your records.  It's all business.

Most likely, yes.  Depends on your situation, but I'd suggest checking your employee handbook, if you have one.\n\nIf you are an employee-at-will (non-contract), then what you've effectively done is agreed to work on their terms.  Those terms are generally detailed in an employee handbook of some kind - you know, the one most people throw into the back of some drawer and forget about.  If their terms include proof of illness for sick days taken, there's nothing illegal about it.

No, when you're sick, your body needs rest.

If you have a copy of the note from your doctor and you have something in writing from your employer (like an employee handbook) that says you get sick pay, you are entitled to it.  Further, in California, if you do not get paid within 72 hours of leaving your employment, you continue to get a "penalty" of 8 times your hourly wage per day for every day up to 30 days after you leave.  I just got $7,800.00 yesterday at my hearing.\n\nI suggest you go to your local Labor Commissioners office (look on their website) and file a complaint (it's a simple one-page form).  You'll get a hearing date in the mail within a couple weeks which will tell you when your "conference" is.  \n\nGood Luck!

No.  Being sick drains your body.  Still drink lots of fluids and give your body some time to rest.  Wait a couple of days before going back to your normal routine.

if your daughter was ill why would you need a 'FAKE" doctors excuse?? there are laws protecting workers from disciplinary action for tending to family emergencies. ask an attorney if you feel you may be sanctioned by your employer for your absence..

It depends on the district. Some district will let you use your sick days if there is a doctors note.Some districts will allow you to have a leave of absence, but with no pay. Talk to a union member about your teaching contract provisions.

When you injure yourself in any way.It is advisable to discus the situation with your doctor and employer.If you had a work related injury the company would'nt want you to aggravate that injury and would generally put you to work(light duties)out of harms way.Now a non related injury(work)is a difficult situation for the employer As if you aggravate the injury,no matter what your duties are they(employer)are fully liable.So they do have the right to deny you work.In fact they can direct you to get medical clearance from thier doctor or a medical pratitioner acting on thier behalf

Yes if you are non-exempt. If you are exempt, you may or maybe be deducted. Check with you State's labor laws. Normally if you are out a day, you will use 8 hours of sick time.\n\nMy advice is to look for another job.

I'm confused, Nurse says you should NOT be at work then Doc says GO to work. Dont know what is wrong with you but you should see your doctor again and ask questions.

They'll excuse you!  Get a note from your doc.  You cannot and should not work with a 104 fever.  And do they want you to come in and infect eveyone else?  I hope not.  \n\nRest and get better!!!
