I work in a hopsital as weekend option nurse. I have intermittent FMLA leave. According to our weekend option policy, an employee can miss 6 Saturday's or Sunday's during the year or they may lose their positon. I have missed 5 Saturday's and Sunday's total due to FMLA and 3 approved vacation days. My supervisor informed me that she will be removing me from weekend option because I have missed a total of 8 days this year. She also said that she would need to fill my position. According to HR, weekend option is based on hospital needs. Looking back I haven't seen where they had to pull someone to cover for me on these days. Also, if they were just getting rid of a weekend option position there were others who were hired into that position after me. By losing this position, my schedule has to change and I will lose approx $14/hr. Is this legal or a violation of my rights? She did say I could qualify for weekend option again based on my attendance as well maintaining my performance.
Another quick question, this policy regarding 6 days off per year has been in effect for 4-5 years and we have had people go over there 6 days every year. When women go out on maternity leave they have not been removed from weekend option position and we have others who just missed over there time without qualifying for FMLA and they have not been removed. Seems that I am being singled out.
