[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 14388, member: 831"] I'm fairly positive your employer is protected under "at will". Honestly, there's not really much that you can do about it if your boss is determined to replace you. Frankly, I don't think you should expend your precious energy. Plus,let's us imagine that you were able to get some sort of action again him, I don't think it would be a very comfortable place to work. Especially considering it is a small business. It's not like you could avoid him. I had to leave my job when Daughter was diagnosed with Leukemia because treatment took over two years. Ultimately, I lost my house and we struggled for years financially. After that I became a stay at home mom simply because I didn't want the job hassle. We learned to live on less and I mean, a HECK of a lot less on husband salary because he was just getting started in his job (husband was on the job ONLY three weeks when daughter was diagnosed and his insurance benefits hadn't kicked in, and my job had none]. As I single Mom I understand you don't have that option. It's very scarey position to be in. I hope this turns out to be a blessing in disguise. Though, I do wish your employer would understand that you are productive and that working with you would probably be better in the long run. But, so many business owners can't see beyond tomorrow. My job now is kid centered, so it's not much of a problem getting time off. It's is one of the main reasons I took the job. Plus, I have made it very clear that my children are my first priority, period. [/QUOTE]
