My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Massachusetts
I am a fee for service clinician for a large hospital group. I provide psychotherapy 2 days per week in an outpatient clinic. I applied for and was offered a second job with the same medical group yesterday working as an Emergency Services Clinician.
One month ago my supervisor issued a warning about my "lack of attention to detail" in charts. I was very concerned by this and sought a neurological exam. I was diagnosed with ADD and medication has transformed my personal and professional life.
Here is the email I received from HR this afternoon:
Hi XXX
As part of the recruitment process, HR reviews an employee’s performance history before approving transfers or additional jobs. Because of your recent performance issues at the Gloucester Clinic you cannot add a secondary position at this time. Should your performance improve to meet expectations you will be permitted to apply again in a year.
Thank you,
XXX
Is there any way I can get HR to bend on this? Should I find out if my supervisor threw me under the bus? How much should I focus on the disability?
Many thanks.
