Turn Your Knowledge into Earnings.
I have an injury that happened outside of work - an infected toe. I am on antibiotics. I can walk but it is very painful.
The job I normally do is standing all day so I was told to move to another area, which involves walking constantly for the next 10 hours. I refused this work because it was unreasonable, I was then told I am unfit for work, and I should go home. I told my employer they can send me home but they would still have to pay me. They then threatened me with disciplinary action, and then said if I stayed inside the building and still refuse the work they would take me off the clock.
Are they wrong to act like this?
Are your employers wrong to act like this? Yes. This isn't fair.
Can they do this with an almost iron clad certainty of no negative legal consequences? Yes.
It sounds like you're an hourly worker. A stubbed toe should have been sick leave. If you're part time you probably don't have this. You also probably don't have the money to take any legal action against the company so they aren't going to pay you. To make this worse for you, the company probably has a reasonably strong legal defense for this i.e. company policy is not to send you home sick if you refuse work.
If there's someone you can talk to, like a union or lawyer willing to offer you free consultation you should talk to them, but you're probably not getting your shift's wage for that day. Today's events are probably just going to get recorded by your supervisor's point of view.
Sorry.
My guess is that if you're actually right and the company was supposed to supply you with those things, the company will just claim you didn't communicate that you were sick and injured.
Taking sick time off was really your best option here.
