the employer must provide 'reasonable accommodation' if possible. your doctor must explain in writing and give a 'medical reason' why you must work the day shift. do you have this medical opinion ? after you receive this opinion, speak with the employer to determine if day work is available. the employer is under no legal obligation to create day work for you.
