I suffer from a medical condition that I have had for quite some time now but never knew it and wasn't diagnosed until just recently. I have been at my job for a little over 3 years. My attendance has not been the greatest however I turned in doctor's notes for most of the time I was out and also I used vacation days or personal days for a lot of these days and I have also made up my hours for some of these days by staying late or coming in early. Once I was diagnosed with my medical condition I applied for the Family medical leave act to be used intermittenly. Ever since I was approved for that my supervisor has treated me differently. I was told that I was not allowed to miss any time unless it was FMLA related. I have a young child at home and was told that if my child was sick I would need to make other arrangements for her. I had asked questions to my manager about my position and explained about my condition and I did not receieve any answers until a week later when I was written up for my attendance. I was then told by him that he didn't know how to answer my questions at the time and that he wasn't sure if what he wanted to say was legal. My job is making my medical condition worse. So I need to know if I will be able to collect unemployment if I decide to quit. I hope you can help me.
