Does a medical release notes has any bearing for returning to work?

Answered 12 years and 7 months ago by William L. Sanders (Unclaimed Profile)   |   4 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Employment

Does a medical release notes has any bearing for returning to work?

Answered 12 years and 7 months ago by Nathan James Wagner (Unclaimed Profile)   |   4 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Employment
Of course you are correct that the supervisor cannot tell the doctor how to do their job or what your medical needs really are. But the supervisor can say that the way the doctor's restrictions are written prevents you from doing your job. They can insist on a change in restrictions, but probably not a complete release of all restrictions. You can ask your doctor to release you from some or all of the restrictions. It's up to the doctor whether they will do it.... Read More

Is there a statute of limitations or do I have to pay back all this money within 30 days?

Answered 12 years and 9 months ago by Nathan James Wagner (Unclaimed Profile)   |   6 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Employment
You probably have to pay back the money. It depends on the terms of the tuition reimbursement, but I would guess that it says you have to pay within 30 days to avoid paying interest or a penalty. The bigger issue is that you were denied a promotion because you are male, and your division manager admitted it. That sounds like gender discrimination, and you could bring a lawsuit against your company because of it.... Read More

Answered 12 years and 9 months ago by William L. Sanders (Unclaimed Profile)   |   4 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Employment
You have no recourse in Georgia. Georgia recognizes the doctrine of employment at will. Employment at will means that in the absence of a written contract of employment for a defined duration, an employer can terminate an employee for good cause, bad cause, a mistaken cause, or no cause at all, so long as it is not an illegal cause....

Ask the employer to please put in writing the reason for your termination. They are required to give you a reason in writing under Washington law. Does the employer have 8 or more employees? If it does, file a complaint with the human rights commission.

Can an employer eliminate your job position if you are out due to an injury that is not work related but you had a doctors excuse?

Answered 13 years and 11 months ago by Mr. Joseph M. Price (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Employment
The fact you suffered from an injury or illness does not prevent your employer from eliminating your job.  Laws which permit employees to have leave (whether FMLA, workers comp, state statutes, etc.) or policies which allow leave when an employee is ill or injured do not guarantee that the employee will either be returned to the same job or that the job will be held open indefinitely.  Employers are allowed to make business decisions regarding staffing....
