supposedly returning to work ugh

[Sexybare]

Gonna attempt work again. As you know i work in a shop building car gears. Way toi physical. I told my boss dont expect much from me. U only plan on stayin there til i see dr oro, only for ins reasons. Dont plan on stayin after

[selmaS]

  Yes, that is what I meant, most places count time out regardless if they offer  paid time off as FMLA...and u would have had to fill out paperwork...at least  that is how we did it at my last place of employment.

I was HR and had to notify the employee  that the time was counting as FMLA even if it was bcuz of an emergency....so I sent things certified.

  LTD is not something u want to look into unless u have an attny....I was told I had to take mine and as soon as u do u r terminated...then I was denied...there is a new law ERISA that the GOV is involved in and to fight  being denied LTD is now a federal case and will cost more to fight then u will get and not many attnys that r versed on this law.


Talk to ur HR b4 u do a thing.

You may want to check with your HR department.  Some companies have FMLA run in conjunction with short term sick leave.

I used my short term sick leave which is dif from our fmla. Each year i start out with 120 vac  hrs 5 of them are sick days. Once thosr are used it goes to fmla for us who gets it dr approved. Fmla for us is unpaid excused days. Ive never had to use it tho
