What are my rights as an employee?

You are in a most difficult situation. You have an obligation to put the employer on notice regarding the stress that you are experiencing as a result of your employment. You have an obligation to provide the employer with medical documentation that your blood pressure and medical condition is the direct result of the stress that you are undergoing at work. What does the present medical report say about the cause of your blood pressure and medical condition? Employer can obtain a second medical opinion. The second medical opinion can state that your blood pressure and or medical condition is a result of a different set of circumstances. In addition, your medical report cannot state that you are unable to perform the job function. If the medical report states that you cannot work and perform the job requirements, then the employer is not required to keep this position open for you. This is a common mistake we see with both employees and medical opinions.you need an attorney to guide you through this situation carefully. You can speak with us or speak with another employment attorney. This is a complex area.
