    getting a note from your doctor requires time off, and costs money from the doctor and potentially lack of pay.

    I started a new job 40 days ago, I can’t have any time off for another 50 days.

    “Luckily” I can attend a dentist appointment by working late that day

      Crazy; I just get on a call with my doctor and they email my employer. All covered by insurance and I pay nothing and take no time off.

      If my employer did anything about it like fire me, they’d get reported to the government who would prosecute with minimal involvement from me other than a statement and possibly witness testimony.
