Can a supervisor legally call your home if you call in sick?

Most likely, yes.  Depends on your situation, but I'd suggest checking your employee handbook, if you have one.\n\nIf you are an employee-at-will (non-contract), then what you've effectively done is agreed to work on their terms.  Those terms are generally detailed in an employee handbook of some kind - you know, the one most people throw into the back of some drawer and forget about.  If their terms include proof of illness for sick days taken, there's nothing illegal about it.

South Carolina does not appear to have any laws covering this. Federal law states that if you are on-call at the employee's premesis, you are working, but if you are on-call at home, you are not working, unless there are severe restraints on your freedom while on-call, and thus do not have to be compensated. As soon as you begin working (receive a call), you must be compensated.

Yes ... you can! You would need to contact them and you might need to fill out paperwork concerning your work address...they should have given you a number to call.

This situation depends on your contract with your employer.  Usually it is spelled out. Understand that if you are under doctors orders to stay home, and they insist you work, and something bad happens....that creates a tort.  You could sue them and win.\n\nSo, to prevent this from happening, various employers have strict rules about this sort of thing.  Most will not allow employees to work if they don't have medical clearance (ie a doctor says its not ok to work there).  Ask your boss's boss.  Likely, your boss is doing something against company policy.

I think you should call to postpone the interview.. Tell them you are sick.

Only if you have no sick leave hours left, then it can come out of vacation hours.

your job can be in jeopardy if you refuse to follow a reasonable instruction. it may depend on why you didn't go in. were you sick, did you not have childcare available, was there a sale at the mall you wanted to go to, were you just lazy? they would probably pay you overtime or give you an alternate day off. the patients are their primary concern. if they feel you are not a team player and that you don't care for the health and safety of the residents, they may decide they don't want you working there.

It depends on the district. Some district will let you use your sick days if there is a doctors note.Some districts will allow you to have a leave of absence, but with no pay. Talk to a union member about your teaching contract provisions.

Yes.\n\nIf you are using the company phone, which they pay for.\n\nThey have the right to know who you are calling.\n\n\nWhat does it matter if your calling is work related.\n\nYou shouldn't be making personal calls at work, except for emergencies anyway.

I would say the health department could handle that for you. Also, I would call the BBB and make sure they know how bad a landlord he is.

It is legal for an employer to take into consideration your sick time use as it pertains to annual evaluations.  Sick time is a privilege not a right and so are pay raises.  Normal use of sick time should not be used against you, everybody gets sick, but excessive use of sick time will be counted against you because when you are out alot, your co-workers have to pick up the slack which means you are not performing your share of the work.  This of course would mean no raise.  Sorry.

This is a tricky question. Most states do allow your phone conversations to be monitored. The reason they find in favor of the employer is the employer can analyze if the employee is performing the job functions correctly. However, if the conversation is of a personal reason (your talking to your mom) then the listening has to end as soon as it becomes apparent. The next subject is, are you allowed personal calls at work, if not your in trouble.

Just tell the supervisor you have a ton of things to do and need a personal day.  They will either understand. Or they wont.

It should be standard management policy that sick days be excused with a doctors note ect.\n\nI would not get involved in that side but I would bring it up during\nnext meeting ect as to how management does deal with calling in sick and people abusing sick policy.\n\nsome people will never grow up.\nsome need to be written up...\n\nhow can one get sick just before work always....\nnot during holidays..\nnot on weekends==\njust on mondays  fridays\n\npaydays..

I would let the person know this in advance about the supervisors. Or better yet, go to your local Department of Employment Security, they could help you.

Your work can not deny you to leave, if you are sick you have the right to leave. If they fire you, then you can get compensation from FMLA because they wrongfully fired you. Unfortunately, you did not know that they can not fire you for being sick-especially when medical attention sounds like it was absolutely necessary.

I agree with ringshank.  There is NO REASON you should have to be living in that condition.  I would call the Health Department or find out who you can call to report the conditions.  Chances are you're not the only one sick.
