sick leave even in the US. I couldn't move at all because I was sick and felt not good last Thursday. So I took sick leave. But My supervisor wants me to make up 1day sick leave this Saturday. However, As you know, J1 Visa only allows me to work for 32-40 hours per week and I don't want break the rule. I asked my company about it, But they only kept telling me "You must work for 40 hours per week and you only worked 32hours last week, therefore you must make up 8 hours this Saturday." My sick leave was only one day and I didn't mean to be sick on the day. (and it can be proved by my homestay host.) I couldn't understand why i can't take only 1day sick leave either even in the US. and there is a labor law that all the employees can have 40 hours sick leave in Massachusetts. And my sick leave happened last week and it already passed 1 week. If I work this weekend, then It means i should break the J1 VISA rules. I tried to have a conversation with my supervisors and understand this situations, but i couldn't solve this problem.
