I have searched and read a ton of threads here but our situation is a bit unique.
My fiance is going to talk to HR on Monday, however I wanted to see about getting more information since HR isn't always helpful.
My fiance has been a FT driver for 14 years we are in South FL. My grandfather is sick and needs almost full time care. None of the family that is closer to him can care for him as much as he needs. I have no choice but to move to care for him. I would be about 100-125 miles or so away. (Not sure if that matters). We have 3 young kids that would go with me since I am the kids primary care giver while my fiance is at work.
Obviously he doesn't want to be away from his kids and I and I can't leave my grandfather without care. I understand loosing building seniority etc but is a transfer even possible? I have heard and read conflicting information. Quitting and re applying isn't going to fly.
Management would love to get rid of him (he's a by the book kind of guy) and if his manager or supervisor had a way to get rid of him, they would (isn't that all non management employees)
We read about hardship transfers but no clue what they consider a hardship or if that even applies to ft drivers.
Does anyone have suggestions, or advice etc?
