My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: WA, however it is in a Tribal Casino
Is the employer allowed to change an employees schedule, (from a day shift, to a grave shift, giving a weeks notice) if they are on FMLA, and the qualifying condition is that they are seeking treatment for a sleeping disorder which has a history of seizures?
The employee has been informed since the employers HR department did NOT receive the certification prior to the department changing the employees schedule, even though the employee had already submitted an application for FMLA, as well as a doctors note. (Side note: the employer did in fact receive the certification the very same day that the employees department called and changed their schedule... stating that the reasoning was to accommodate another employee on the grave shift.)
