My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Virginia.
I have taken no unapproved leave, sick or vacation. My supervisor has issued a vague written warning citing "communication issues," and has provided no examples. In addition, she provided me with a written job description and I have been told not to return to work until I can provide a doctor's note stating that I have no medical condition that prevents me from performing my duties (which include "other duties as assigned"). Since chronic or unexpected absences is NOT an issue with which I have been cited, can she legally prevent me from working until I can provide a doctor's note? She is also causing me to use up my vacation time. Is this legal? Any suggestions on why she might be doing this?
Thanks.
