ok so i was working in a daycare and i had a miscarriage at work. the thing is i didnt know i was pregnant at all. the pain was horrible and i didnt know what was happening to me. there was massive bleeding and i spent alot of my day in the bathroom, or hunched over. my boss refused to find a replacement and let me leave work. i wasnt able to go to the doctor until late that night (pain started around noon, didnt get off until 6pm) could he have gotten in trouble for not letting me leave?
Answers:
YES. If you required emergency care, your employer is required to help you obtain it. Hemorrhaging is not uncommon with miscarriages - you could have bled to death.
I think some of this is murky because the situation wasn't caused by an injury at work (if it were you *would* have grounds for a lawsuit, and the company you work for could have their insurance revoked).
Still, the fact that you needed medical treatment and your boss denied it is insane. I would have a sit down conversation with your boss's boss (and a rep from hr if the company's big enough to have a hr department). If your boss is the owner, I would seriously consider looking for a new job - that doesn't sound like the kind of person you should be working for. Make sure to tell this person the reason why you're leaving.
If you are reprimanded or punished at all for spending all day in the bathroom, call a lawyer.
he very well could. you were having a miscarraige and you needed medical help. he kept you there. it put your health in danger. bring a doctor note to whoever is his boss and see what they say about it.
Absolutley! You should have been able to seek medical attention right away.
