I recently fell of the boat at work onto the dock, (I am a biologist and I was taking sediment samples) and injured my back. I have to have an MRI performed because my doctor thinks that I herniated a disc or two, and now I am in tremendous pain, and my right leg keeps going numb on me.
My boss is treating me different and does not have work for me now, and I am nervous that I may loose my job. I missed 3 days because of the injury, and I have been doing everything that I can at work, but I am limited.
Can he fire me or lay me off?
Can he just decide that there is not enough work for me and ask me to not come in on certain days?
I have never had this happen and I want to cover all my bases. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
