I'm new to the work force and have had to take this week off due because I have covid. I was informed that since I have not spent enough days with the company and I am on payroll, I am not eligible for paid sick days.
When calling in sick time to my supervisor each morning, I notice that my inbox keeps filling up more and more with emails – each of these usually includes a task for me to complete since most of my work is daily administration.
At this point I've missed almost 4 full days of work and, since I am still receiving emails, I assume that I am expected to complete these 4 days of work once I return on top of keeping up with the daily load I usually receive.
Not sure what my best course of action is right now, I am not eager to scramble to complete these 4 days of work that I was not paid for.
Any advice is much appreciated.
