Does anyone know if it is legal for an employer to REQUIRE a doctor's note to go back to work after being gone two days (sick) due to the flu? This is in the state of Idaho if that helps...thanks in advance! I will also add that I work for Swire Coca Cola as a delivery driver.
Two days seems like hardly any time at all.
There's this reverse phenomenon called: Presenteeism. The people who will come to work even if they should be home tending to their health. It's epidemic, and causes widespread germs and other ill stuff.
Yuk.
Glad you got out of it. I'd check my six periodically, though...there are some people who will not appreciate your having proved them incompetent to do their jobs...and HR people are many times, the most insecure.
Good news and bad news, I proved them wrong, it is the 'standard' 3 days or more that REQUIRES a note from the doctor. Also if you are injured, so basically I just proved the entire upper management at the plant wrong, which is good...but I hope they don't hold a fuggin grudge over it, I am just gonna have to kiss a lil I guess to ensure it isn't a problem!
