Thankfully I filled out the absence form and have a screen shot, but I’m wondering, can I be fired or reprimanded if I do not provide my call logs. I already sent her the screen shot this morning stating I can’t provide my call logs. Does anyone know the laws well enough or maybe just know how to approach this better? Thank you so much!
