    Default Can Your Boss Require You to Go to a Doctor

    In Texas, can your boss require that you go to a doctor if you leave work early because you're sick? The boss says that the employee cannot return without a note from a doctor.

    Default Re: Can Your Boss Require You to Go to a Doctor

    Absent a contract, collective bargaining agreement, or civil service law (for public employees) that prevents the demand, a Texas employer can require a doctor's note from an employee who misses work due to illness. The employer can also fire the employee if no doctor's note is provided.
