Hi. I don't want to tell my work I'm getting this surgery. It's a personal choice and I don't want in warrantless opinions. I am thinking of taking a week off but I may need more so I will probably need to tell them I'm getting a medical procedure, so they are aware I'm not just on "vacation" or something. What do you suggest?

Hello does your job offer FMLA?

Hello does your job offer FMLA?

I don't think so. I'm in California, I have worked here a year BUT we don't have 50+ employees. We have like 4 employees!

o ok.... you need to investigate the FMLA laws in California

I would tell them you are having surgery but not what kind because you don't have to go into details.

I started a new job two weeks before my surgery. I just told my boss that I was having a medical procedure done and would need to miss four days. I did need to bring n a doctor’s note, but no questions were asked. My surgery was on a Tuesday, and I went back six days later, on Monday. If anyone had asked, I was prepared to either fess up or say it was a girly surgery, but luckily no one asked.
