[QUOTE="brown_trousers, post: 833777, member: 29972"] First of all.... There are laws in place protecting your "privacy" in disclosing medical conditions/procedures. You do not need to tell them what your surgery is for, or whether its an elective surgery or not. They have no rights to that information. All you need is a doctors note saying you were medically unable to work for the last "x" amount of weeks and are now able to return to work. even if you take off 4 weeks to recover from this surgery, it will only count as 1 "sick day" occurence, so discipline should not be a problem, unless you are already on the verge of a warning letter/suspension/termination. If you have banked enough sick hours, you can just use those during your absence and save your vacation for another time you can actually enjoy. If you don't have enough sick hours and can't afford to go without the pay you could try and request those vacation weeks as well, but there is no guarantee there. Vacation eligibility is determined solely by seniority. [/QUOTE]
