Is the bulging possibly due to her work duties??
Or did something happen away from work to cause it? Hobbies, sports car accident?

If it might be due to work activities she should possible consider filing a work comp claim, or at least get some free consults from a few work comp attys.

If you're positive it is not work related -
She probably should talk with the HR dept if Cyntas has one, to be sure of her options.

I suppose the company has that option to cut pay especially if there is no date of regular duties.
