Legal Question in Legal Ethics in Missouri
Suspension without pay
I had to miss one day of work due to ill child. I was given a written warning. I got ill and had to see my doctor who gave me a written statement for my employer. One week after my supervisor accepted the statement I was suspended for missing work. Could he legally do this?

Check the Family Medical Leave Act. They cannot legally take the action you describe.
