My sister's boyfriend just lost his job today because his employer heard him coughing and told him he was "too sick to be working." and he was pretty much fired on the spot. The week before he had been coughing up blood, and went to the doctor, where he was diagnosed with severe bronchitis and told he shouldn't work (at an auto body shop, where there is a lot of strenuous activity) for the rest of the week. He gave a note to the employer, and they were upset because they didn't think he should be taking 5 days off of work, no matter how sick he is, but when he does show up at work sick, he gets fired. Can they legally do that to him?
