I had resigned from my job and was trying to go back all week was told Thursday that I couldn't and then Friday got a call but I have to have a letter from my doctor saying I am being treated for anxiety.
answered on Feb 11, 2023
Not sure if it will help. If you resigned, it seems your employer acted appropriately in assuming you would not be back.
answered on Jan 10, 2023
Ways to resolve: 1) speak to your employer about this concern, letting them know how long it would take you to be ready for the day. 2) Failing that, consider whether an extra 10 minutes a day is worth losing out on a job.
I think you have a legitimate concern, don't get me wrong. I... Read more »
What are my options

You need to find an unemployment attorney. Not sure if you have much of an argument if the temp agency wanted you to come in to see what jobs are available, and you told them no.
I am in Michigan and was convicted of a felony in 1998. Great bodily harm less than murder. I know that it is up to the individual companies, but wondering if there is any law, state or federal , that would prevent me from working there.
answered on Sep 28, 2022
Working there? I don't think so. Probably not in the gun section. You should look into, at the very least, restoring your gun rights, though.
