[nagdu] New job, Cagney can't be with me

[Marion Gwizdala]

Debbie,
    Labor laws require that you have specific breaks for specific durations 
of work. During these breaks, you should have someone who will cover for you 
and id during which you can take your dog out. Title I of the Americans with 
Disabilities Act requires employers to make reasonable accommodations for 
their employees with disabilities. In my opinion, you would be best served 
by contacting the Department of Labor and the Equal Employment Opportunity 
Comission (EEOC) to find out what your rights are concerning breaks and 
accommodations. If you need our assistance, we are only a phone call away.

Fraternally yours,
Marion Gwizdala
