I'm currently working in California and we have an employee who continually comes in sick. We've sent her home a couple times so far for this reason. Normally we have to ask if she's sick (based on how she's acting) because she knows if she tells us she is, we'll definitely send her home. We offer 4 sick days a year, but she's already used them and her vacation time. Is it legal for us to send her home when she's sick even though she's not getting paid (she's paid hourly)? It's a small office and she's contagious - the girl next to her has gotten sick two or three times so far and has had to take time off. She also makes a lot of errors when she's in the office and sick. Our procedure manual does not specifically say anything about coming to the office sick and only talks about us offering four sick days a year. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
