Need advice please. I had lung surgery in December last year and was
hospitalized for 2 months. I was healing at home for about a month and
went back to work.
When I started at work, I was told that I must started working night
shift again. I informed my supervisor that due to my condition I won't
be able to work night shift as yet.
The human resource officer told me I must bring a medical certificate
that I am unfit to work night shift.
I got the certificate and presented it to the HR officer. The officer
told me that I can not work day shift I must work night shift as well.
I have been told by him if I do not comply they will let me go.
I do not know what to do, I was not offered a position in a different
department or told any options. Its either work night and put my
health at risk or forfeit my job.
I also have a medical report that states reasons why I should not be
working night shift, which I received after completing occupational
therapy at the hospital. I also spoke to the company attorney as I wanted to file a grievance against the HR officer but he told me I don't have a case.
Please I don't want be without my job but what should I do?
