My Employer Won't Give Me Time Off To Do Dialysis
What should you do if your employer does not allow you time to do dialysis? Is this something that can be filed with the EEOC complaint department?
Has anyone had to deal with this? I would like to know your thoughts on this. Diane (Team Member)
I did find some information on this. Check this out.
Yes, you can file a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) if you believe your employer is violating your rights as an employee with kidney disease.
You can file a complaint if you believe you are being treated unfairly or harassed because of your disability.
You can file a complaint if you are being denied a workplace change that you need because of your disability.
You can file a complaint if you believe your employer is not making reasonable accommodations to help you stay employed.
Do you have anything to add? Diane (Team Member)
For me It was before getting jobs I had sometimes not to say anything about my illness until I went through the second round of interviews and explained it to them after but I've left jobs over the years that have caused a lot of stress for me, I've been in and out of the hospital with infections and I got a warning for being hospital from work. After having these difficult time I had to find employment that worked for my health.
