[QUOTE="retiredTxfeeder, post: 1402874, member: 52978"] My first child was delivered CS. Back then if your first was CS, then the next child would be automatically. We scheduled the surgery for my second child for a Sunday, and I was going to just take off the entire next week. If I remember correctly, they wouldn't let me move a vacation week to that week, so I just took 5 option 3 days. Somehow, someone put me down that week as a leave of absence. Noone ever admitted doing it. Evidently with a LOA, UPS doesn't pay your insurance for that week. (that was back then, 26 years ago) Shortly thereafter, I started getting notes in the mail that all the hospitalization, dr. fees, EVERYTHING wasn't covered by insurance and I was responsible. WTF! I read the contract and it said that the only way to take off for a LOA it had to be approved by the DM. Him and him only. I had a meeting with him the next day and I was wound tight by the time I saw him. I told him that if my wife or myself had to go to the ER for any reason, that hospital (which was close to my house) would probably deny us admission. I called that guy about every name in the book. He asked me what could he do to make things right. I told him he could call every one of those people who claimed I was late paying their bills and explain why to them. I gave him a list and phone #'s, I'll be damned, he called every one of my debtors and explained UPS was at fault and they would pay the bills asap. Best division manager I ever had. Probably the only time anyone has called their DM a sorry sob and got away with it.lol. [/QUOTE]
