So I am still waiting on my work approval for leave for surgery. I'm afraid they'll deny it since it isn't under fmla. This is because My hours for fmla are used until may from me bringing my mother in law to appointments for radiation and chemo. Can an employee deny unpaid time off for surgery that isn't fmla?

If they do I'll have to wait until may or June to apply for fmla again.

Thanks. Ya they were lol

What hospital are you going through?

Hoooray for your approval!

You may also want to check your state's specific leave laws. Some states have additional family medical leave laws in addition to FMLA.
