*Please tell me if this is not the right sub for this question*
Hi I work in Chicago Illinois for an insurance company. Ill cut to the chase because I am freaking out. I have plenty of sick days/pto for bereavement left for this year. I happened to lose a family member so I told my boss I need to use a pto day to grieve.
She wants me to come in anyway, can she legally make me? Can she fire me if I chose to stay home ? I am a hourly wage employee but I do receive company benefits.
Any advice would be great.
