Talk to someone in HR regarding your question. \n\nIt depends on the policies of the company you work with.

By the time you see your own symptoms, you have already infected the entire workplace.\n\nPink eye is pretty minor, unless you are working with the public, so I don't see why you couldn't work.\n\nWould I "force" my employees to work?  No. \n\nWould I be mad if a person who chronically misses works called in for this reason?  Yes.   We need our employees at work, that is why we hired them.

Yes.\n\nWill working jeapordize the status of your claim for past lost wages and medical benefits?  No.  \n\nWill working jeapordize the status of your claim if you're claiming you're unable to work, and want future lost wages?  Yes.

Yes, they can.\nThey have a reputation to be concerned about, so I really can't blame them.\nIf in the future you are found innocent, go back and try to get your job back.  Until then though, i would just try to find another job.

call labour relations (That's what it is called in Canada) and explain your situation, they will take care of it for free and make sure that they don't screw someone else around next time.  Also make sure that you have all of the paperwork to back up your side of the story, dates, times worked and anuthing else that might come up.  That way you will have the best case possible.  If you win he could also be fined, so even calling him and making that threat could be efective enough.  If he has done this before and been investigated, it could cause him alot of trouble that he won't want.

That's funny. No laws violated, except the sprinkling of the second person might be considered some type of an assault... Just claim you were sick....Good story.

oh ho your bad lol kidding I do the same thing except I never get caught. When your parents go to bed go on it. when they leave go on it but the problem is when you only have 1 phone line. what you do is disconnected it for a whille and call you parents and ask them for food or something. that way they wont call to see if you okay cause you just called so they know your okay. so yea. fake sick maybe your parents will let it slide and let you on.

Don't you know nursing homes don't want to hear about things like false documentation,abuse,neglect.They want it swept under the carpet.First of all you need to report this person to the  board of nursing.Secondly you need to file for unemployment compensation at your local employment commission.You can draw if you are fired for anything other that willful misconduct and that means "intentional" I am so sure you will get it,even if you have to appeal it.These politics go on in nursing and it is sickening,that is why this R.N. of many years is no longer nursing.Obviously this person is a butt licker.That is what they like.If this company has a corporate office then I certainly would  make a complaint.You shook the sheets and they don't like that.Find something else but if you can afford it sit back and draw unemployment.I did for 6 months

you can tell HR and they will know youare moaner with no proof.  you got to have real solid evidence which you dont have.  so start sticking up for yourself.  tell hi loudly in fornt of everybody " I am not your cutie pie so back off you old fart.  if he sits by you get up and move.  give him and every person in the room the clear idea that your to good to put up with his sickness.    You gotta fight your own wars nobody can do it for you.  Then when your boss ask whats going on tell her or him.  \n\nbut if you go complian about it without taking any action first they will think "oh brother her comes a new trouble maker", and think you are over reacting becasue you are.

Saying that you got sick will probably work. First of all, don't go out where you can be seen by othera if you don't go to the function that night. Lay low, because if you are seen, you'll be caught and they will question your integrity. Second, say that you had diarrhea. No one will want to hear the details about it and they will think you are serious, because of the nerve of saying that you had it and that you had really bad stomach cramping all night long. Third, if you go to work the next day, bring a bottle of Imodium AD with you, so they can see that you still have it just in case it comes back. We've all had diarrhea at one point or another, so it's pretty believable and it's just not fun! Good Luck!

Yes, but only after they return to work. Cannot use sickness as a reason, but can create a reason at a later date. Sad but true.

You are on limited duty because..... \n\nIf accident at work, your covered under worker compensation, and company should respect the limitations.  On the other hand, if you were injured off the job, or contacted some illness that required limited duty, you have certain obligations not to engage in any activity which would endanger your health or aggravate your condition.\n\nIf your supervisor insists that you perform work which you and your doctor feel would be detrimental to your well-being, then I would recommend that you tell the supervisor that you are refusing due to health condition, and that if s/he persists in threatening you, that you will exercise your options - legal and otherwise.

The problem we have at my place of business is that you are given 6 days of sick time and if you don't use it you lose it. So people make up illnesses just to use time that they consider "coming to them" so the honest ones that come to work everyday have to pull up their slack for the same days pay. When you work hard and you know someone else is taking a paid day when they aren't sick, it lowers morale.

You would have to contact your HUMAN RESOUCES DEPT for that answer...sorry..every work place has different policies...

In America you could sue, but it would very likely be kicked out of the courts as a frivolous lawsuit.  One major stumbling block would be proving that a specific individual got you sick since germs exist everywhere.  That, and proving that they acted irresponsibly or negligently (it would have to stand up to how the average man would behave in a given situation).\n\nI don't think you would get anywhere with it and your time would probably be better spent keeping happy and healthy.\n\nGood luck with the cold/flu season :-)

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

Of course, it would be. They can't say anything formally but they will treat her as if she is a liability. Your lawsuit would be against bothe the party responsible and the hospital. While the case was going on they would have to watch what they said and did around your mother as she could be a witness against them. So, yes it would hurt her working environment, at least for a while.
