1Opinion of the Court
STEADMAN, Associate Judge:
Petitioner was discharged from his employment when, despite his supervisor’s instructions, he failed to attend to his duties at an assembly line while seeking leave to take medication for an injury he had previously sustained on the job. The Director of the Department of Employment Services (“DOES”), rejecting a hearing examiner’s recommendation, concluded that the facts in the record did not establish a ease of retaliatory discharge in violation of the District of Columbia Workers’ Compensation Act, D.C.Code §§ 36-301 et seq. (1988 Repl.) (the Act). We affirm.
