[QUOTE="Ghost in the Darkness, post: 2836323, member: 13611"] 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!! [/QUOTE]
