I still cannot see out of my eye.i live in newjersey, i don't know if we have certain laws. can someone help me with this question?

Answer 1

they shouldn't fire you. but if they do you'll still get that week's pay. but still, they shouldn't fire you because of that. remember, you should have sick days and vacation times depending on what kind of job it is.

Answer 2

You can't do your job with one eye?

Answer 3

No. It is against state labor law to fire someone who has a doctor documented illness. Check with your State Labor Board.
