Legal Question in Employment Law in Kentucky
Can an employer fire you if you were called in on your day off, went in, got sick with a health condition and asked to leave work early? I have gallbladder conditions and got sick and my employer told me if I leave that I cannot come back.

Unless you have a contract, your boss can fire you for any reason, except for discrimination on the basis of protected class. Your medical condition would need to fall under FMLA to save your job, and your employer, if small, may be exempt from FMLA. I would look for a job where your boss isn't a horrible person and talk to your doctor about getting your gallbladder removed if you are continuously having problems that affect your ability to work.
