Federal Law And Stress or
Sleeping On The Job - Part II...

...and getting away with it.

In part one you learned how to deal with stress on the job via the state Workers' Compensation system.  In part two, you'll use Federal law to help you out.

This is very powerful stuff.  You do not want to engage into this lightly.  You do not want to fake injury or illness as that could land your sorry butt in jail.  If you want workplace laws to work for you, you must play the game by the law.

Say for instance that your doctor has you on some type of medication that is causing you insomnia.  True story.  Happened to me.  I was diagnosed with high cholesterol.  My doctor put me on Lipitor.  In my follow-up visits, I told the cardiologist that it was making me sleeping.  He said there was nothing in it to make me sleepy.

I thought it was stress on the job because I was being micro-managed on a project from hell.  I woke up around 1:00am every night and didn't get to sleep until about 4:30am.  I had to literally drag myself out of bed.  Lucky for me I worked out of my home so I didn't have the usual primping and travel time that other workers have.  I couldn't concentrate on my work and many days I found myself back in bed before noon.  I plowed through a lot of my personal Paid Time Off hours.

Months later I found a Lipitor forum where people had complained of the very same thing I was experiencing.  It was like looking in a mirror.  They had the same symptoms I did.

Then steps in a nurse friend of mine.  She's an RN and did a little research for me.  She found out that once the Lipitor has your cholesterol under control, you may not need to take it in the same dosage.  You may be able to split the pills in half and take only half the dose.  Or even take them every other day and still keep your cholesterol under control.

Being on a statin drug like Lipitor, I had to have blood work done every six months to make sure my liver wasn't being destroyed and that my cholesterol levels were in check.  Unbeknownst to my doctor, I started splitting pills.  My 6-month blood work was fine.  Then I started taking the half dosage every other day.  Again, blood work was still fine. 

I finally stopped taking it because my eating habits were nothing compared to what they were when I had high cholesterol.  Blood still tested fine.  I'm not going to get into pharmaceutical company ethics and how they want you to stay on their drugs for the rest of your life because that's off topic.

The point I want to make is this, years later when I got the Work Laws Exposed e-book, I discovered that I could have used a federal law to shorten my work day by coming in late and if need be, I could have taken huge blocks of time off for weeks at a time without using any of my PTO hours.  I could have slept in every morning without losing my job and sleeping in wouldn't have been out of laziness or attempting to skirt unfavorable working conditions.  I had a definite medical need.

I also found that  I wouldn't lose my job and I wouldn't lose my health insurance.  I could pretty much make my own schedule and do it as long as I needed to, day after day, week after week, and month after month.  Then start it all over again the next year.

Not only that, your employer cannot have you make-up the time lost.  He can't have you work late when you do come in and he can't make work on the weekend to make up the hours.  End of story. 

Employees have no clue about such things because the information they are given in their employee handbooks only describe the laws at a very high level.  Like I said in Part I, employment law attorneys get paid to train supervisors in how to minimize employees' rights.  When training employees, they conveniently leave out the sections of the law that are most helpful to individuals.  Your boss wants to keep you in the dark, and will pay a lot of money to keep you from finding out about how to use your employment rights.
