I am a salary employee and my employer does offer paid sick leave. I have recently been ill and recevied approval to leave work to see my Physician. After the appointment, my physician gave me a note requesting that I take time off from work for a few days. As soon as I received this information, I immediately contacted my manger to notify him of the situation and the date that I would be released to return to work. The time frame that I was expected to be on sick leave was no more than 48 hours.
After I hung up the call, my manager continued to call me requesting that I continue to work from home. The tasks that he was requiring were to contact customers and continue to be avaialble via e-mail and by phone. I reminded my manger that I did have a written note for bed rest from my physician and barely had a clear voice to speak with anyone. Is it legal for an employee's manager/ supervisor to continuously contact the employee and demand completion of work while on Physician approved leave?
