[QUOTE="cachsux, post: 421082, member: 5529"] Abso-freakin-lutely you are covered under the FMLA law on this. You showed the responsibility of notifying mgmt of your need for time off in a timely manor. It is a legitimate reason and at the most you will only need to provide proof of your wifes surgery and that can be done AFTER you return to work. I have separated the paragraphs that pertain to you below. Call work and tell them you WILL be absent for your wife as you notified them,under the FMLA act,and will bring proof of her medical condition if they request it. Take enough time off to properly care for her wife. You are protected by law. Here is the toll free phone number for the national Dept of Labor. (866) 487-9243 Any trouble on your part feel free to call and they will help you register a complaint which will help change your center manager`s tune. [LEFT][B][FONT=Calibri,Bold][SIZE=2]Section 6.
