If your company has fewer than 50 employees it does not have to follow FMLA laws. Most companies still allow for time off but be sure. My small company will allow up to 12 weeks off and our handbook

Hello everyone, I have my surgery in two weeks and plan on taking sick time.
I have over 200 sick days available.
The other day, while at my pre-op visit, my surgeon asked if I was completing my FMLA forms. I didn't know what he meant by that. When I asked him if I had to, he said he wasn't sure, Told me to check with my HR department-obviously every company is different.
Was this surgery not covered as sick time for you guys? Did you have to use short-term disability?
One of my friends at work mentioned she thought of having plastic surgery but she was told by HR since it was an elective surgery, time off it wouldn't be paid.
I tried calling my HR department earlier this week but kept getting transferred. Will try again this week but in the meantime just looking for feedback.
Thank you
