Don’t know about the state law but in the Federal government you do have to have a doctor’s excuse if you take more than three days in a row of sick leave.
I do work for the Feds (FAA) and we do pay a share of our health care, contribute to retirement, pay state and federal taxes. Thought I’d throw that in because there are some people on this site who think we don’t pay into anything and it’s all free. Wrong.
A share? Oh my, you poor poor exploited worker of a callous state bureaucracy!
We FREE PEOPLE pay 200%+. We pay for YOU, we pay the AGENCY that pays for YOU what you do not, we pay OUR own medical expenses, if lucky, we have managed to save what measly retirement savings we could, and we pay all taxes.
But because YOUR plight has struck such a chord in my giant heart, we all will cry, lament, wail and tear our clothing for YOU!
