i contracted Hepatitus A and was told to stay at home and away from people/work until it was no longer contagous and i was feeling better and cleared medicaly to return. i have missed several weeks of work and may miss several more. i have been with the company since mid october of 2008. i was told that i have no more sick days or vacation days and that i do not qualify for a leave due to my employment status of under one year. therefore i can resign and hope to be rehired or i can stay on and face review and most likely termination for failing to show up for my scheduled shift. can i be fired for missing work due to a legitimate documented illness? i live in hawaii, does this state have any law protecting me or does federal law offer me anything?
