I spoke to my supervisor and they sent me to a clinic (the doctors are ass) They put me on restricted work (can’t lift or push/pull more than 5lbs, as well as not being able to raise my hands above my head) so technically everything I do for work. I told my supervisor about this who tells me to stay home due to the fact I won’t be able to do anything regarding work fast forward to today the bosses wife sends me a text telling me that they will be using my sick pay for the days I missed. Is that allowed?

Edit: thank you all for the help!
