I'm so sorry you are facing this - unforutnately this is how many employers respond to such situations.... I'm not sure of the legal rights where you are - but in Calforinia its a "at will" employment state - which means while employees often think they are entitled to warnings etc,unless there was a union involved, the truth was what I used to tell my managers (I was in HR) - is that "an employee can be terminated for any reason except an illegal one".... meanining if your boss doesnt like you - they can fire you - and just will say "its not working out" to avoid any future lawsuits. In cases where future litigation was anticipated - a employee was often pressured to sign a severace agreement in exchange for couple months pay they agree not to sue - or in case of employment agreement it is paid out (unless there is gross negligence)..

Unforutnately employers often dont want to accomodate the disabled - because we no longer belong in the general population... since you were proactive, which you had to be - they, in an ideal world - should be making the accomodations for you if they are seen as reasonable (again, this "reasonable" ends up in court often...) It sounds to me that they are "playing" at reasonable and trying to set up a case (employers, once an employee asks for special accomodations, are at a much higher liability for any termination of an employe who has requested such)... and if they want to "push" you out will try to work within the system to show that you are suddenly no longer a good employee (such as the clocking in time) - this is unethical - and yes, you need to respond immeditely... give them all they want regarding doctors notes, and at the same time be sure to respond, in writing, (with cc that states it is to go into you HR file) - you were not aware clock in time had changed or whatever..... talk to the legal sources to and your husband first spoke with...

What they are trying to do to you is in blatant defiance of ADA accodamation requirements and you need to keep every piece of paper - notice - record of conversation, etc.... you have the right to see your personnel file - although you can usually not make copies of it (they should set aside a time for you to review at your request - although I suspect there will be their own internal documents you dont know about "MISSING" - if they appear later after you have reviewed - you know there is a problem right there....

I hope this isnt upsetting you - but I've worked in several different companies in HR - and always fought for the employee... but bottom line is - the senior operatations management makes the rules - and those in HR get to do the dirty work.....

I hope that things improve - I applaud you for making it thru the week -and urge you to "CYA" as we say!

Take care,
