A complaint alleged that a manager at a Family Dollar store made an unreasonable demand. The manager had told a pregnant worker to take a few days' leave from work via phone on a holiday evening. On the same evening, the manager also demanded that the worker produce a doctor's note.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or EEOC, has stated that this demand was not reasonable. Further details about the complaint and the EEOC's stance are available from the source.

The incident involved a specific set of circumstances, with the demand for a doctor's note being made on the same evening that the worker was told to take leave.
