[QUOTE="FracusBrown, post: 755047, member: 29360"] Stick to the contract. In the US you are considered an "At Will" employee. Unless it's a violation of law or a specific employment contract you can be terminated at any time without cause. You have some protection under FMLA, but you have to follow the guidelines. I am not aware of any other state or federal law that allows unlimited use of sick days, even if you really are sick. Disability is insurance to protect against lost wages, but doesn't necessarily give one the legal right to be absent without discipline. [INDENT][SIZE=2][I]A.
