Surgery and time off pay?

[NC man]

I had recent surgery, only had to take sick days, then short term disability kicks in. Contact HCMP, they'll set you up with the proper paperwork. Dealing with the outside company for short term disability was a pain at first.

The only time you have to burn your vacation is for FMLA, some managers won't make you burn it, some will make you use all (but leave you one week, that's the policy)

Not for me, we had someone having surgery,not due to work accident. They said they had to use sick days then vacation which I thought was wrong. Asked guy who did have surgery ,work related ,and they used sick days then WC I think. I always thought you went on short term after sick days,of course I forgot about WC. OTJ injury vs outside work is the diff.

I thought family leave was unpaid unless you want to use vacation. They can’t make u burn vacation for family leave can they?

No if you put in for a LOA you can take up to 6 months without pay per year

I see you are in NC, you probably have the same HCMP person that I do. The only other thing I recommend is scheduling your surgery after all your vacations... that is of course if your surgery can wait.

Yes, they changed the FMLA policy a few years ago, basically they require you to take all but one week.

This is correct.

Not my surgery, a fellow employee was having it and said they had to use sick and vacation which sounded wrong but found out it’s different if home injury or otj

Was out twice with meniscus tears not while on the job( out 5wks) had to use 5 sick days first than short term paid the rest (if full time). Also insurance was not paid weekly (fedEx) had to play catch up upon return on each paycheck.

So not otj but they didn’t make you burn vacation

You still should not if you go to ANY paid leave. STD for an at home injury is 1 week of PTO then paid leave if you qualify. That’s still correct.

This is correct.

But what if you used all your vaca but one... can they take that one away?

No. That’s why I take 4 weeks of June July. Surprised most senior couriers don’t

You burn most of your vacation right off the bat IN CASE you have to have to be out later in the year?

Yep. Seen to many get screwed. Europe for a month is quite relaxing

I’m pretty sure they can’t take that last week.

Because some of us like to spread our weeks out.

10 months with only 1 week and 4 individual days kinda sucks. To each his own.

Did you say cheeks?????

Breaking your wrist and losing all your vacation instead of free disability money kind of sucks also.
