Re: Employee Rights

It sounds suspicious to me, especially because most company sick leave policies do not require a doctor's note unless a certain number of leave days are taken (e.g., out for 3 or more consecutive days). I don't know the circumstances here, so check your employee handbook and if you need assistance, please contact us. Good luck!
