Did You Get Disability Time Off From Work Or Have To Use Vacation Time For Gastric Sleeve Surgery?

Me-again,

If he has been at his job for at least one year and works full time, he should be able to take "Paid Family Leave". Under FMLA (Family and Medical Leave Act) an employee can take up to 12 weeks per year (that don't have to be consecutive) to care for a newborn or sick immediate family member.

Here is the link to the FMLA website:

I took 3 and a half weeks of paid disability and cashed out about 25 hours of PTO about two weeks before going out (I accrue 2 days per month so it won't take very long to build it back up again). All I had to do was fill out the forms and my doctor's office took care of the rest.

I am on day 5 of PTO.

I wish I could go back on Monday but still pretty week.

Our short term disability only kicks in at 14 business days off which is b.s. because it is completely employee paid and not $1.00 employer paid.

Oh well, as least I have pto!

I did not work at my company a full year to qualify for the disability leave so had to use 2 PTO days and work from home 2 days. On Monday I am returning to work for the first time. I don't want to lose money or my job so I feel I have to be back ASAP.
