March 20, 201313 yr Anyone taking time off from work? Are you using medical leave of absence? Or for those post ops did you use it?
March 20, 201313 yr I will be taking 2 weeks of vacation then I am going to get a doctors note to be on light duty until I am aloud to exercise as my job has a lot of pushing, pulling, bending and lifting heavy objects.
March 20, 201313 yr I'm 2 1/2 weeks Post Op. I have a desk job and took a week off, not paid. I had my surgery on a Friday, and honestly by Tuesday I could of gone back to work but I decided to just give myself the rest of the week to relax and recover at home. Good luck!
March 21, 201313 yr I'm am off for 3 weeks this is my last week I'm in ca so we fmla family medical leave act so it won't count against me also lol revive short term disability from the state for the 3 weeks of no pay

I think i have to take some paper work to HR filled out by my surgeons office. Does that sound right?
March 21, 201313 yr Yeah I took my off work orders to my supervisor I had to fill out some forms but its worth it your jobs completely protected and instead if using my vacation I got paid through disability and my work covered the rest.... You can google the forms I think
March 21, 201313 yr If you use fmla remember this paper work is good for 12 weeks in the whole year. So if complications occur from this you will still be covered by fmla.
March 21, 201313 yr I applied for FMLA through my employer to protect my position and also for short term disability as I only had enough PTO for 1 week off and really felt two weeks would be necessary due to physical requirements of my job. So... PTO for the 1st week and 65% of my normal income for the second week and FMLA to protect my position just in case.
March 21, 201313 yr I only put in for a week off at work but it will be without pay because I don't have enough vacation time saved up..I thought with FMLA you had to be out of work for 6 weeks or more to apply? Cause if that's the case that I could possibly get paid for it or if I need more time, I may have to look into this..Does this apply in NY as well do you know? thanks.
