I have just started a new exempt salaried postion and am in my probationary period in NC. I have become ill and unable to work until I either get well enough to return or have surgery. I have no health insurance as yet. What rights do I have regarding my job status, and what or how much information is my employer have a right to have. Can they terminate me for this and would I be eligable for unemployment. I have provided all information regarding why I have been absent via doctor excuse. It has not been until I saw a specialist that the problem has come to light regarding my illness. Another troubling issue is that my supervisor called me at home and accused me of being out running around because I didnt immediately answer my phone. Since I do not have insurance as yet we have tried to treat this medically until coverage comes into effect. What are my rights?
