[quote=Anonymous]You state very clearly that you can't disclose the underlying medical issue but that you are happy to get a note from the doctor to verify you are using your sick leave correctly if he wants.

I would also ask for a clarification on the sick leave policy for future reference, because if he's asking about your daughter's medical info, he will also likely ask about yours if you call in sick.

I had a boss like this and her problem was that she had no boundaries and also fundamentally distrusted everyone who worked for her. Once I left work with a migraine in the middle of the day and she hounded me for weeks about getting it documented "for HR" and I finally called HR and explained the situation to them and they hauled her in to tell her she had to stop asking me about my medical diagnosis and that all future sick leave documentation could be processed through payroll (who did not require a doctors note unless I was out for more than 2 consecutive days, which I never was).

It's a control issue and the best way to deal with it is to use the system against them. You are in the right and the company will back you up because they don't want to get sued.[/quote]
