Is the employer required to allow excessive absences due to back pain?
An employee continues to miss work due to a previous job's injury. We have allowed her to attend the chiropractor during work hours but she wants to have unlimited doctor's appointments and have them all excused. We have positions that require state mandated ratios of employees to clients. This is becoming an extreme hardship to the employer and does not seem fair to the other employees. At what point are there too many absences? We have received no doctor's note that indicates she has any disability.
