Kimberley Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Hello Everyone. Just wondering if I have any Legal rights at my part time job. I feel like I am being Harasst because of my Illness (POTS) I took a leave about 1 year ago and came back with a doctors note saying I could come back and work the minium allowed by the Company. Yes I am sick but like to work and I keep trying. I do not call off on my schedule but they are always trying to schedule me more and when I constantly mention my doctors note they say well everyone has there excuses. Is it just me??? Thanks And Happy New Year to everyone!!:) Kimberley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgan617 Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 You need to read up on the Americans with disabilities act and see what your rights are. I'm not sure, except I know you can't harrass people with disabilities with legit requests.....good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarfgirl Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Yes, you do have rights.http://www.eeoc.gov/types/ada.htmlMy suggestion (and take it with a grain of salt, I haven't worked in two years now) is to speak directly to whomever is in charge of scheduling, explain to them the situation and your limitations and make sure they understand what they need to do to accomodate you. That "everyone has their excuses" crap needs to stop NOW. Make sure they understand that this is a real disability you are dealing with. People will often try to be dismissive of invisible illnesses, and the longer you let them get away with it the worse it will get. Best of luck to you.

Aprilmarie52 Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 If you dont get any help from your boss then call the human resources department and make them aware of your condition and of your drs note. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
