Hello I’ll try and keep this short but I recently tested positive for Covid and was told by my GM that I needed to stay out of work until I was symptom free. I had informed them Monday morning a couple hours before my shift and was told to use sick time if I had any until I’m better so I put in the request for time off on our work app which was approved. On Wednesday morning i took another test showing negative so I texted them saying that my symptoms/ fever were gone and I had tested negative so I should be okay to return to work and received no reply. When I returned to work I was pulled into the office and told that even though I had put in the time off request for all 3 days (which were approved by my GM) that I was considered a no call no show because I did not additionally text them each morning to inform them of my absence so I was terminated. In hindsight I believe I was retaliated against because the government made a change and forced them to switch me from salary to hourly which is causing them to have to pay $400 more per paycheck because I now actually have to be paid for my overtime worked (which was usually around an average 10-14 hours every 2 weeks.) I received my very first check at this new pay and then the next week was fired because of Covid.
