Can a Vermont employer require a doctor's note for one day out of work?

Question Details: My sister in law called in to work a couple of days ago and one of her supervisors told her that she needs a doctor's note. She returned to work yesterday and told her other supervisor that she didn't see a doctor, and was told that was fine. Now the supervisor who said she needed a note is pressing the issue. My sister in law is worried that she is going to be fired if she doesn't go see a doctor. She can't afford her copay for an office visit, so she can't go to a doctor, not that it would make much difference since she was only out of work for a migraine which is now over and done with.
