Were My Fmla Rights Violated? [north Carolina]

Location: North Carolina

Hi there,

I was just recently diagnosed with severe gastroparesis, and obtained intermittent FMLA due to being written up at work for the amount of times I have had to go home early due to vomiting at work.

Recently, I used an FMLA day on a day that I was feeling extremely ill, and was then bombarded by my manager demanding I find coverage for myself (I was advised not to answer, so I did not). I later received a text message in a group chat with my manager and the manager above her stating that because I hadn’t answered and was supposed to work the next day, they took the liberty to find coverage for me and took me off the schedule. The text message was also pretty nasty (I work in veterinary medicine, and the text message stated that my absence caused patient suffering and undue stress on the team, which is why they decided to just take me off the schedule for the next day). I have saved all of the messages I received just in case this is a violation of my rights, but honestly I know almost nothing about FMLA as I’ve previously always been healthy and have never needed such a thing. My main concern is that with all of my medical bills I am now even shorter on my check due to now missing two days instead of just one.

Can they continue to do this, or is this a violation of my FMLA rights? It feels like retaliation, but I don’t know enough about FMLA to be sure.

Any insight would be helpful!
