About i work in Washington State and my employer will not allow me back to work pending results from a mental health

I work in Washington State and my employer will not allow me back to work pending results from a mental health?
. . . Pending results from a mental health professional. I am trying to find out if it is legal for my employer (a private company not involved with national or public safety or security) to require this of me, and what I am entitled to as far as pay is concerned for the lost time this is costing me on the job.

Answer 1 :
The company has the legal right to require that you show mental stability before allowing you to return to work, although you did not say something must have happened to cause concern in that area and it is your responsibility to provide proof.

You would need to contact the Human Resources Department of the agency in state of Washington. States are within their rights to insist that all state employees live in state. I don't know if Washington state has that requirement. You need to ask.

Why is Obama so reluctant to go work in Washington?
It's only since he was called by the President to come that he reluctantly agreed to do so. Is it not important that no matter who is elected, that person have a say in our economic future?

Answer 1 :
Going to work in Washington? He'd show up and people might actually review his credentials: 143 days as the coat check boy. Having reviewed this small, insignificant fact, people might actually begin to question his ability to lead the nation and the world.
Answer 2 :
Probably because he's not on the committee to work on this whole Wall Street mess. The folks who are on that comittee almost have it worked out, they don't want some Johnny-come-lately swooping in with his pen and saying, "lemme just add this here and take away that there..." It alomst seems like McCain is baiting Obama to contribute to the legislation, then if it doesn't work our right, he'll point the finger and say "See - Obama's name is on that. he doesn't know what's best". Neither of them think the current plan is the best solution.

Does anyone know of a reconstruction dentist that does pro bono work in Washington state?
My boyfriend was in a motorcycle accident almost two years ago which resulted in him knocking out his teeth. He does not have any insurance and we have very little money. He would like very much to have his teeth fixed for many many reasons. If anyone has any resources for this your shared knowledge would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Answer 1 :
Low cost and free dentistry is possible. Contact your local county dental society for information on dentists who are willing to donate services. (For example: Spokane County Dental Society or Pierce County Dental Society). You may find lower cost dentistry at the University of Washington, but it's not usually free and their is a significant waiting list.

Was it in your job description?
Answer 2 :
Yes. If you're asked to do something at work, you're supposed to do it. If you don't want to, find a different job.
Answer 3 :
In almost every state, unless you have a (union) contract to the contrary, you can be fired for no reason at all, let alone refusing to do what you're told, to the best of your ability.
Answer 4 :
Yes. Someone has to clean it up. You are a prima donna. Expect many more firings.
Answer 5 :
There is no such thing as a 'just' reason to be fired. They can fire you for no reason at all, refusing to do your job is actually a very good reason. There is no law that bars minors from cleaning urine. Do you think you are too good for the job, but it's okay for others to have to do it? How's that working for you?
Answer 6 :
FLSA (federal labor laws) prohibit dangerous jobs for minors. That is not dangerous, otherwise you could not have babysitters. So yes, you disobeyed a direct order.
