That would be entirely up to the company I guess. I know at my last job, some employees would have to have accommodations from time to time and they made it so hard for them that they chose to leave. You may want to check out all the options with a labor board and then check the company's policy. But first, you may have to have a heart to heart talk with your supervisor and feel them out and hear what they have to say. It may not matter to them one way or another. Their answer may depend on how far behind they are or how pushed they are to get this done. Don't burn all your bridges before you try. I know in my job, I had to do things that were out of my job description. I got where I could not handle all the stress and extras so I took an early leave. That was before I knew I had MG. I knew something was terribly wrong but did not know what. I tried to talk with my supervisor about the work load and the extras. They knew I was struggling but I still had to tote my own weight regardless of whether it was in my job description or not. I hope you can find some way to get through this. I wish you lots of luck and hope everything turns out for the best in your decision. busy
