I work for a public university. I have worked full time for various departments since 2004. In the department I was at before I discovered I suffered from severe migraines and vertigo spells. I had my doctors write notes stating what I have and that when it happens I need to take time off to recover at home. Well the notes didn't seem to matter to my previous boss or HR, but fortunately i got a new boss and he asked HR to drop the case because he felt it was ludricous the charges brought against me and I left to another dept. My new boss at the time was understanding and allowed me to take time off whenever I was sick. However, she left last year and a new boss came into the picture. The new boss was not as understanding, well actually he was in the beginning and in the past few months has been giving more of a hard time at work. In the beginning he said he knew how hard I worked and he was fine with me making up the time. In the last few months, his attitude changed. He at no point addressed with me being upset that I would take sick leave. Mind you, I have the sick time to take. Instead of addressing his concerns with me, he went straight to HR and I was blindsighted into a meeting with him and HR yesterday. This was after I had resigned since I found another job on the same campus. HR spoke of how I have a pattern of being abscent and as I tried to defend myself, she would not let me speak. I was trying to explain to her that I have dr notes saying that I am allowed to take time off when I am sick. That was not really acknowledged. I was then told about a 2 page list of demands my current boss wants me to do before I leave for the new job. I honestly felt harrassed by HR as this is not the first time I have had issues with them. I have colleagues who have also felt harrassed by them. I need to know if I have any grounds for making this a legal matter. Also need to know if I choose to not return to my current employer and not finish what he has asked me for, if there is any legal recourse that can be done against me? I do not have any signed contract with the university. I understand it is very unprofessional and I will lose the other job but if I need to stay under the same umbrella with the current HR I am not sure if I want to stay at this university. Please help
