  20. Can an employer penalize you for calling-in due to illness?

    Angel0411 replied to NursingAgainstdaOdds's topic in General Nursing

    Very true. I had a boss at my last job that "set people up" and I didn't agree with the way she handled things...luckily she allowed me to make my own decisions. I, personally, treated employees the...

    Angel0411 replied to NursingAgainstdaOdds's topic in General Nursing

    Angel0411 replied to NursingAgainstdaOdds's topic in General Nursing
