Add Comment Question: Can I get laid off for leaving work with a bad stomach.. I told the carpenter Forman I felt sick, so I went home.. Then my Forman ( steel) called me when I was half way home didn't ask me how I felt but just said " where are you " I told him I was going home for not feeling well. He told me not to bother coming in tomorrow. He said that he didn't want to see me no more, then hung up the phone? Answer: If you are part of a union, the only thing you can do is talk to the union. If you are not part of a union, then the company did not have a right to do this and if you are not allowed to get back to work then you are owed full severance immediately. If that is the case, please give me a call. Lior Samfiru Your Comment * Your Email * Your Name * Your City Note, your name, city and email is not displayed on the website.
