The employer can directly ask whether a worker is disabled for the purposes of determining if the worker needs any special accommodations. It can ask for health information -- including a note from a doctor -- if an employee takes sick leave, requests time off for medical reasons or asks for accommodation for a disability. The employee is required to give this information. If they don't the employer can withhold pay and benefits among other things.

Odd that you "don't give a shit about your little debate" but you mentioned it in every post and asked multiple questions about it. I wonder what you do about things you do give a shit about. Have a nice weekend!
