    yeah, since your not hurt, it doesnt matter that you had a car wreck. Its (to the company) that your just not coming in. Take care of your personal business on your own time, and go to work as you should.

    That's a crappy company. I would hate to work for a company that does not take care of their people, especially for an incident like this.


    If you think you will need more then 3 days off, maybe FMLA could be an option.

    Legally, is not much you can really do.. ( open to interpretation ) you can sue anyone..lol

    However, this sounds like an easy case for a UI hearing in you're favor, if you are telling the truth..just saying.
