[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 1156178, member: 6408"] To my understanding, FMLA only addresses whole week vacations, not single option or sick days. However... To restate my experience, when my mom was dying, I had to stay with her, 24/7. Applied for FMLA, Dr signed, company signed, everything was well. Until...an "I" was not dotted on some form. No big deal, it just delayed the whole thing. I willingly asked for and was granted some vacation to be used for this, without FMLA or company "official" approval. Manager was more than accomidating. Said "anything I needed or however much time I needed", etc. When she did die, I needed more time off to settle estate. Company said, "No prob". Took more time, without "official" FMLA. Yes, I did forfeit vacation time I had signed up for later in the year. No, I didn't press for more weeks off without pay when that time came. I thot how can I, I used up my time off. How could I insist or request more time off just for vacation time. In other words, my advice to you is, TALK TO YOUR MANAGEMENT. They may work with you...the may not. What's it gonna hurt? In my case, it worked. They worked with me and I appreciated it. [/QUOTE]
