Manager not believing me

[kelllogss]

Dd had a health crisis one day when I was WFH so I quickly notified my manager via the work system about it and said I was going to update when I could

Got to the hospital by ambulance, spent the whole pm and overnight. In the morning I texted manager to update - no reply

When finally got home in the pm I logged in and communicated with manager who requested a call. After hearing the story manager seemed unsure of my story and requested hospital paperwork

Is this normal? HR matter?
I always take time off / AL when need to deal with Dd’s health issues which all my superiors are aware of but this time it was an emergency and I did not bring work laptop to the hospital

How can it be private, she’s already told her boss she was at hospital and that’s why she was not at work. That ship sailed. She doesn’t need to provide private medical info, simply here is the evidence that what I told you was true.

it is illogical to say you can say it as your reason to be off, but you can’t give the bit of paper with no medical info on it to prove it.

hr drives me nuts sometimes with these contradictory and illogical statements.

unfortunately the workplace is full of piss takers
nowadays you can’t single people out so be even the good one s have to be treat the same
not great but it’s not personal

Entirely this. If you were fine to share with your boss that your daughter was hospitalised i can't see why you'd have issue sharing a pic of the discharge note with anything private redacted.
As an aside i think you were unprofessional to communicate by message /text.
Almost everywhere i've worked has said you must speak verbally to someone when calling in sick or otherwise.

I’d be furious and I would make sure I copied HR in to any correspondence.

I don’t think you have to share your child’s private information, but I might be tempted to just to prove a point. It is really unacceptable unless you’ve got a proven history of taking the piss.

I wouldn't send my DCs private Medical paperwork, no. Do you have car park tickets? Could your GP give a letter confirming that your DD was in hospital and with you due to being a minor?

Feels very intrusive.

Like others have said, it may not be about you. When you are managing people, and you have people on PIPs or discipliaries, as a manager you're always one step away from a grievence or a bullying and harassment claim. Therefore you need to treat people equally, according to policies.

What does your policy say?

Thank you all
I showed redacted info
