Company asked to Reschedule Surgery so it's more convenient for them

:thumbup: Boy that is typical for HR / Payroll departments. I worked in HR and payroll for the last 10 -15 years of my employment. I am retired now. It seems that since you work in HR or Payroll you are expected to give up your personal needs and put the companies and other employee's needs in front of your own. No WAY!

I think what your wife did was the exactly correct thing to do. If you want to look up the labor laws go to: www.texaslaborlaws.com . Look under Time off, and Family Medical Leave (FMLA). Besure to check out FMLA. That is a Federal Law that they must honor.

Let me know how it goes. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Keep on...Keep'n on.

Your wife should ask for a raise. If she is so indispensable that her surgery has caused this much angst, then the rest of her office must be really incompetent. LOL Seriously, though, companies HAVE to do cross-training and have some redundancy in employee skills so that it is not such a big deal if someone has to be out for sickness/injury/vacation/etc. They are being ridiculous by asking her to postpone her surgery. I'm glad she stood up for herself.

There is work and there is life. Life ALWAYS comes first. Unless by being gone from a job someone will die, it is NOT that important. I never let work dictate my life for me. I come first.
