My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: NH
Recently, I had to take a week's leave of absence from work due to complications with my pregnancy. I am 24 weeks along now and I have been working with this employer since I was 12 weeks along. My work production has not altered because of the pregnancy. My doctor put me on bedrest for a week because of the complication, complete with doctors note. My employer was made aware of the situation as soon as I knew I was put on bedrest and they were told that the doctors note could be delivered immediately by a member of my family. My employer stated that it was not nescessary to do so, but when I returned to work, to bring the note with me. I did. And I am not on this weeks schedule and my employer is unsure if they can put me on next weeks schedule because it would be unfair to the other employees.
I'm confused because I made the employer aware of my return date, and when I returned, my job was not available immediately. My employer stated that I should have called earlier to say when I would be back, but I had already made that very clear. Maybe I should wait and see if I'm on next week's schedule...maybe I should start asking legal advice...I figured I would start here.
Thanks for any comments!
