and it's true.

I've been in a building before peak, where people have called off sick, or left an hour or 2 early to get their sick kid to a Dr. I'm speaking from what I have seen personally. Trying to help the guy out. Get lost if you have nothing relevant to say. Good day.

Do you realize, as a father, you're entitled under FMLA for up to 12 weeks off following the birth of a child? You can apply for "intermittent FMLA" and take your 12weeks off as separate single days (or several days in a row, or single weeks as needed). That way, when you need a day off to care for your baby....they can't peg you for attendance issues.

I don't know if you're a FTer or PTer...but PTers can still qualify for FMLA up to 6 weeks off.

Varies state to state. When I took it had to be 12 consecutive weeks within the first year of birth. Not allowed to break up into single days in my state. (3 years ago or so).

If You had sick days available...why would you even give them a reason as to why you're calling off? This is ______ I won't be in today. Click.
