Add Comment Question: Can I be terminated for refusing to do a job separate from my normal duties, because I didn't consider that I was appropriately dressed in shorts and thin shirt to work outside in pouring rain and cold lifting when I have previously damaged my shoulder at work. The Asst. Mgr. Didn't want to hear my explanations, told me to get outside or go home. I refused to go home and went back to my normal work. He failed in his Duty of Care to me and adopted bullying tactics and ultimatums. What recourse do I hsve Answer: If you had a legitimate medical reason not to perform these duties, your supervisor should not have forced you to do it.
