Can my employer give me a verbal warning for being off sick?

i have a doctors sick note and had a verbal for being off before its 3 % is the attendance for my work mines at 7.9% but i always thought they couldnt do anything with a certified doctors note please help

Your doctor does not dictate company policy.

If you are required to meet certain standards at work, and fail to do so, your employer has the right to terminate your employment and hire someone else to fill the position.

In some states you could even be denied unemployment benefits for similar situations.

A doctors note is not a free pass to miss work. You can be given a verbal, written or terminated for not being at work. An employer expects you to use your day off to take care of your personal business.

If you aren't there to do your job, the company has to fill in the gap. It doesn't matter why you were absent.

If your sick your sick and you would think an employer would like for you to stay home and get better before returning to work. I wouldn't want you to get anyone else sick.

But if you’re out sick once a week then yes you should be written up and or fired.

Good luck and take the verbal warning, and get back to work, but if you have a HR office go talk to them right away about this.
