Legal Question
Hello, while on light duty due to a work related injury on 3rd shift, is my employer allowed to force me onto 1st or 2nd shift and write me up for not being able to work the demanded hours (due to daycare)?
I tried explaining to my boss that I was hired for 3rd shift because I could not work 1st or 2nd due to not having daycare available for my son. My boss stated he could require me to work whatever hours he wanted and I have to work 6am-2pm. I explained I could not come in before 8 (after i got my son to school) and he threatened to write me up every day until I am fired. Is this legal?
