Is my Job harassing me ?

I work in NY state. I have been at my job for 3.5 years. I have called into work sick on 4/4/08, 10/7/08 came to work 2 hrs late on10/10/08. And just recently called in due to family emergency (18month old had a seizure and i brought her to ER) on 11/5/08. On 11/5/08 i even came in after going to the ER. I received a 1 day suspension from my supervisor after my family emergency. (they say there is no attendance policy when I asked what it was) The reason I say it's harassment is because the supervisor that suspended me is not treating me equal to other employees when they calling in. I also reported this supervisor to his boss for coming to work drunk back in 5/08. Ever since then it seems as thought he has a hard on for me. All the other employees (about 30) know this as well. Is there something I should do? What can I do? The next time I am late or absent from work i can be terminated. I need help fast.

Every company has to have an employee hand bood, that is a must, that states the policy of procedures of the company. In this book you can find from attendance policy, work ethics, sick time, vacation time, and especially regarding harassments of any kind.

I don't know the laws that govern NY, but here in cali, there are procedures to take before suspending an employee. Track record, warnings, insorbronations, and etc.

You should be able to go to Human Resources and speak to them, cuz that are to protect the employees and displine them as well. Since you've been there for 3.5 yrs, you should have accumulated sick time to use for these days. In my own opinion, in April, you called in sick, then Oct. you was 2 hrs late why?, but still the time frame is to far, not like it was weeks after weeks, and for the same offense. Then 1 mth later you came in late due to family emergency, well he probably think that you were lying, bring a note from the doctor or a bill/statement to prove to HR. I don't think that you should be suspend without, cuz even so you could of use your SICK TIME or PERSONAL TIME OFF (PTO), even certain cases your VACATION TIME.

UNLESS THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE YOUR NOT TELLING US.
Sorry to hear, but good luck. you can also contact the labor board of NY and find the laws that governs NY.
