Yes, you earned those hours last year.

Not exactly sure how it works with STD, but you may not get your full complement of vacations next year, because you didn't work the required hours, this year,

You’re toast ! BYE BYE UPS

Retrain to what?

No I have osteoporosis in both knees and it just got really bad to where I can’t stand or walk for long periods so I’m not able to do my job and may have to get a desk job if physical therapy doesn’t help

I was on std then transitioned to ltd In beginning of July this year. I wanted to use my 6wks vacation/entitlements that should have refreshed in April but my ft sup, labor manager and BA said they just don't do it. BA said it will be honored when you return to work. If you had entitlements in your bank before you went out it would be used toward FMLA until both ran out.

Retrain to what? Are you expecting to come in, sit in a chair and scan packages for 8 hours?

STD/LTD indicates that this was an off the job injury. If this were a comp injury you would most likely be looking at a buyout.
