I am so undecided as to if i should take sick or vacay leave for a week. The pros of sick leave are is that there is no set # of days you can or can't take. As long as it is documented. But the cons of sick leave. I have to tell my supervisors risking everyone (40) people in the office. Also the pros of vacay leave is no questions asked. No one in my business.

My question is....what did you use?

My deli manager.went out for surgery....female issue...never once told our managers...for what..just had her dr.s paper work..and was out 3 weeks....we work at a major grocery store....we have fmla...rules...YOU WILL BE FINE.....JUST HAVE YOUR PAPER WORK..IN HAND....YOUR MANAGERS KNOW THE RULES

So u mean to tell me is that i can notify just hr and my supervisor that i am having surgery and if it leaks out to employees that i am having surgery i can file a lawsuit?

I think it would depend in how you approach them. If you go to them in a professional manner and tell your HR and supervisor at the same time in a closed door setting you might be able to.

They can always come back and say you told someone or someone overheard...

I think i am just going to tell them im using fmla and will be out 10 days. Idk..my short term disability forms ask what 'illness' i have....

Just say...sick and tired of being tired.....
