is this fair?

hmmm... if Torbs is who I think it is... then my boyfriend (Chuck) works at the same place as you do! and yesterday, when it was so hot out, he was getting sick, he threw up 3 TIMES and they didn't let him leave work! they made him keep working.... so what kind of bullshit is that now??? it's not fair... obviously they don't understand... plus my bf dislocated his shoulder in soccer, and never healed right, so at his job, he can dislocate it, and I bet they wouldn't even care

well i think they both could get better jobs and have all the shit they want cuz i work at a metal shop in DL and that gets hot as hell too they supply water, and gatorade. and if u need to go home theyll let u without a prob. its all about trust or so they say.

If it happens again tell him to contact OSHA. He can be anonymous and even if his employer finds out it was him and retaliates by firing him, his employer can get in trouble. If he dislocates his shoulder at work they better care because he can file workman's comp which can imclude pay for days of work missed. Not to mention all the doctor bills.

Missing 3 days in 5 weeks of work ESPECIALLY THE FIRST 5 WEEKS is pretty bad if you ask me. It'd be different if you had been there for 6 months or a year, but in the first 5 weeks unless you are sick as a dog, you really shouldn't miss work period.

i wouldnt have missed any work if it was just an office job or somthing, but all of the times i didnt feel that i could lift 50lbs. all day and be fine...i figured id be better off not being there for a day so i could be @ 100% the next and not half ass it or anything...that and my few injuries have not been that bad, but all of them i knew would get worse if i worked. i never had any problems with the head guy before, everytime i talked to him about things, he was totally cool about it...another reason why it was so sudden

a corporate environment such as the one you probably work in brokendsm is VERY, VERY different then smaller companies, and especially smaller companies that are hiring laborers.
the corporate entities set up policies to cover themselves, but this does not mean that they HAVE to go to this extreme, it's just a precaution.

According to north dakota law the employer does not have to give you any kind of warning or written notice prior to firing, lay off etc... but by this same token you dont have to give them written notice before quitting like if you walk out on the job they have to take it in the shorts no bullshit look it up in the library.. furthermore employers like to follow like a 90 day probationary period if thats what you want to call it to see what kind of employee they have hired 12 weeks if you look at it weekly you werent even half through that not to dog on you man i dont know you you could be the best worker but you cost him money in production in your first couple of weeks im bettin 9 times out of 10 in a production atmosphere your gettin the boot
sorry for the mis hap dude go apply at community living services they pay decent

i agree with Blake to a point...but why are these policies set up? to cover our asses? yes. but this also prevents us from any lawsuit that may come up because of firing someone. i am 99.9% sure you guys are right about the North Dakota law about letting people go, but you have to admit that seems a little shady...

i know i have worked at a couple places where you have a 90 day probational period. if you miss more then 2 days in that period you get cut off, but i was told that prior to starting my job. my current job i am on a probational period even. also cavalier babe, torbs works at place right next to where chuck works. i work where he does :D.
