The OP said that he had a schedule through the end of the year of all the days that he would need off. As a manager, I would think that you would prefer that over the phone call at 8 in the morning.

You might be a nice guy but in all honestly they shouldn't tell you guys anything. I have seen center manager's try to use medical conditions against guys. All you need to know is if I am approved and what days I will be taking.

No, if under FMLA you won't lose your insurance or job seniority. Its 12 weeks unpaid if you qualify and the company can require you use your personal time for it, all but a week of vacation depending on how much you are out.
I used FMLA for childbirth this year for a couple weeks. I didn't want to negotiate time off when the baby was born if it didn't happen on a scheduled vacation week. Another driver found out the hard way a few weeks ago when his baby came a week early but they wouldn't let him move up his vacation a week. The baby was born on a weekend so he didnt miss the birth but they forced him to work the days they said they didn't have enough coverage.
We have staffing issues here too. Funny how they always tell us we have a great job and people are lining up to do if we can't meet their expectations. Where are they then?
BUCN85, good luck and best wishes on beating the cancer to you and your wife!!

You do not ask them when your taking it , you tell them. You need to stand up for yourself.

Good for you! I'm sorry about your situation and I'm sorry this company is being so absolutely ridiculous about giving you your rightful time off. Just don't allow management to stress you out anymore, you have other things to to focus on right now.

This. It's time to stop giving them any courtesy. Find out the bare minimum requirements for notifying them. And stick to those requirements. Call morning of, not coming in utilizing such and such. CLICK.

FMLA and the use of it is covered in the contract, Master section.
It is deplorable with all you have going on, UPS is giving you a difficult time, you do not need the extra stress on you right now.

We all know at this job, if you do not stand up for yourself, they will ride you to the moon and back like a rented mule. I'm nasty right back to them in a professional manner, anytime I have any interactions with management. It sucks that it needs to be that way, but it is what it is.

Needless to say I'm very ticked off over all of this. To put it nicely. I'm taking this to every outlet I can to make sure those responsible for putting me through this get held accounted for. It's time to drop the hammer
Good for you. You know what you're dealing with, and you know you're right. It will all work out and try not to let those evil bastards get to you.
Just remember there's a special place in hell for those people involved.
