Please provide me with statutes, cases, or rules regarding an employer's denial or refusal to accept a medical letter from a health provider for missing work.
Under Michigan law, there are a few key points to consider regarding an employer's denial or refusal to accept a medical letter for missing work:
- Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA): Employers with * or more employees must allow eligible employees to take unpaid, job-protected leave for specified family and medical reasons with continued group health insurance coverage.
- Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): Employers must provide reasonable accommodations to employees with disabilities, which can include accepting medical documentation for missed work.
- Michigan Persons with Disabilities Civil Rights Act (PWDCRA): Prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in employment, which includes reasonable accommodation requirements.
If you need more specific cases or detailed statutes, consulting a local employment lawyer would be beneficial. Is there anything else you need help with?
