Can my job fire me ?

Question

Can a job fire you for using your sick days ? 
At my job, we have sick days, vacation days and personal time days. 
If I have to call off sick a few days in a row and use my sick time, can they fire me ??

Answer

Very much depends on if you work in an at-will state or not. In most cases, no. They may require documentation after a certain amount of time.

Answer

I work in corporate America. If you use more than 5 consecutive days they require you to file a short term disability claim which needs to be backed by a doctor. If a doctor doesn’t confirm and sign off, you can be terminated.

Answer

Just depends where you live. My state doesn’t require a reason. They could fire you because the grass is green and no one gives a shit lol

Answer

No….thats what the sick days are there for.  They may require a doctor’s note if you’re sick a certain amount of consecutive days but they can’t fire you

Answer

Ive had jobs that say missing more than 3 consecutive days may require documentation and/or medical clearance to return to work, if you dont get it they can fire you.

Answer

Look into your company's policy on sick time and PTO. Some companies give you a limit on how many sick days you can use consecutively. Your vacation time/PTO is yours to use whenever you want though. Thats what its for.

Answer

No. You accurate sick days for when your sick you use them.
