LEAVE OF ABSENCE FMLA

[BKNEWJOURNEY2 3]

HI JUST WANTED TO KNO IF NO ONE HAD OPTIONS AT WORK FOR SICK OR VACATION TIME WHAT DID THEY USE?

If your company meets the requirements and you meet eligibility then you have to be offered FMLA. It will be unpaid but you will have job protection. Ask if your company also offers Short Term Disability. That will provide a certain level of salary replacement while on leave. You can also ask if they offer a personal leave of absence for employees that don't qualify for either FMLA or STD. That leave again will be unpaid.

hi yes i have long term disability. i surely wish i picked short term

i also have fmla now for my r.a but my co worker says its covered under flma i jst dont have much time save to be paid out if i ask my employer to do so

Yeah without STD or vacation/sick time there isn't any other options. Your employer doesn't have to pay you for leave and it's not required under FMLA.

If its an option, you could always look into a personal loan to help you out. But the good news is that gastric sleeve patients typically only miss 1 - 2 weeks of work.

I am doing fmla just because I will be out for more than 3 weeksand in car any complications arise.

i have STD that I pay into but won’t be needing it. Have been working quite a bit of overtime since November. so I am using all of sick time (which isn’t many hours) and then taking the rest do the time without pay. My job allows you to allocate your sick/PTO anyway you want to. I am lucky

i used all my sick time to make sure i dont miss appointment

I used FMLA and I got paid every week by short term disability.
