[QUOTE="RedThunder, post: 960411, member: 11586"] [SIZE=2][FONT=Arial]Employees must notify UPS of the anticipated timing and duration of the leave. Employees must comply with UPS’s call-in procedures and must clearly inform UPS that the requested absence is for a reason for which FMLA leave was previously taken or certified." Seems pretty reasonable to me. In a company with thousands of employees approved, who on any one day can use intermittent FMLA, being asked to call an automated number to notify the company of an excused absence is not discriminatory or an undue burden on anyone. So, in as few words as possible, GROW UP!. UPS sets the call-in procedure. Follow it. It would be different if they required 15 different steps and an hour long process but that's not the case here now is it. You have to pick your battles and this is just not one of them. I would, even if not required to, call my boss and let him know as soon as possible if I was going to be out that day also. He's just a guy with a family, trying to earn a living just like me. Now in the past I've worked for some real pricks and I can't say that I haven't been as big a pain in the ass as I could be. But in the long run, It's your fellow employees who are most likely to suffer while the boss is in the office with his feet up on the desk. Especially the ones that are the biggest jerks of all. So if you need a day take it. Call-in. It's not that hard. Tell me, would it bet discriminatory if they had you call a different number at the center and your supervisor answered that one and it was only for FMLA. So he would be sure to get the message and code it properly. Of course it wouldn't. So silly., [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
