Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

employment issue

I have been out of work for a month after my fiance killed himself and i went to see the councelor at work after it happened and she told my supervisor something i said but in a different way and it sounded worse then it was and they told me to go to my counselor ive been seeing for a while and get a note to come back to work. I had it set up to get one and week later told me they were putting me on compulsory disability leave until i see a phsycologist of their choice. they cant make up their mind what they want me to do. and everytime i call them i keep getting i dont know answers. they made me use up all my leave time and im not getting a check. also the counselor at the job went and told several people what i had said under confidentiality that shouldnt even needed to know without my knowledge. i just got word today that it may be another week or so before i hear anything. What can be done about this.

Re: employment issue

A mental health couselor is not permitted to reveal the substance of your communications. You need to go back to her and see what is up. Ask for an appointment with someone with human resources to see about your job and what is going on. Meet with a supervisor if necessary. Be proactive. Don't just call. Get a face to face appointment.
