Legal Question in Employment Law in California
Demerit marks for taking paid sick time
Is it legal for an employer who offers paid sick time, but then charges a point to every employee who calls in sick? The points are accrued as disciplinary points and can be used to terminate employees.

Re: Demerit marks for taking paid sick time
The policy you describe sounds like it would violate state and federal law regarding disability discrimination if points are assessed when leave is taken for a disability. You should discuss your specific facts with an experienced employment attorney.
