I am a widowed mother of two girls (an 8 year old and a 14 month old), working at a hospital. I have been at this job for about 8 months.

My baby has been sick a few times, therefore I've had to stay home with her. I have even taken her to the hospital where I work, so they know about her sickness. Our physicians told me to keep the baby at home. I have no family to help me when these situations come up.

I have been written up by HR for being absent or being late to office when I had to take care of her. I have contacted my boss and communicated my situation. My boss loves my job performance, I am getting my hours in. I have even hired a sitter to stay with my girls so I can work in the evenings to make up time.

However, there is no empathy from HR, and I feel like the HR Director is trying to get me fired. Other employees don't get written up for similar reasons.

As a widowed mother, do I have any legal protection in this situation?

Are there any legal protections for widowed mothers with regards to employment, and workplace disciplinary procedures?

I feel I am being treated unfairly at my place of employment.

I am a widowed mom of two girls. An 8 year old and a 14 month old. The baby's dad died in a car accident when I was 5 months pregnant. I have been at this job for about 8 months now.

My baby has been sick a few times therefore I've had to stay home with her. We are talking really sick- I even took her to the Hosp I work at to be checked out several times (so they know I'm not lying). I was written up by HR for being absent to take care of her. I have also been written up if I am late to the office due to having to get a fever down, baby pooping all over on the way to work, each time I contacted my boss and made him aware so I'm always communicating my situation) there is no empathy, for me at least, but other people get HR's empathy)

I have no family,-'d no one to help me when these situations come up.

You would think working for a healthcare facility this wouldn't be an issue. It was our physicians who told me to keep her at home!

I am beginning to feel like the HR director is trying to get me fired. Other employees don't get written up for the reasons I have- my boss loves my job performance- I am getting my hours in- I have even paid a sitter to come stay w my girls so I can come into the office in the evenings to make time up.

Is there any legal protection for widowed mothers?

I am hoping to move closer to my family for support but I feel like as long as this immature lady is running HR she's going to be watching my every move.

It's just not fair! Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
