I work for a hospital and have been here since September. I genuinely work my ass off and cover others shifts and am often working shifts with a skeleton crew so sometimes we really struggle, but I have toughed it out and very, very rarely ever get anytime off. I caught COVID about a month ago, and showed proof of my test results to my boss, and then did not return to work til I was able to safely. Well, I recently moved and the day I moved I had to work, since we had a skeleton crew, but by the middle of the week I wasn't feeling too good. I was just purely exhausted and worn down from the move. So I called up my supervisor to call out for the day. He told me I could not. When I asked why not he said I had called out too many times recently…to which I didn't say anything for a moment since I was stunned. I then asked what he meant because I never really call out, and he said it was in regards to me getting COVID… He said I'd need a doctor's note or I'd be written up, even though he knows I don't have health insurance so that option wasn't even really an option. My question is: Is it even legal to deny someone from calling out at all? And also can he just threaten to write me up from calling in?! I feel like that has to violate some laws or rights I have. Also note how cool it is I don't have health insurance, but I work in a hospital lmao America sucks
