[QUOTE="BigUnionGuy, post: 800622, member: 4992"] fallingstargraphs, Your problem is 3-fold.... With only 7 months you do not qualify for FMLA. Part-time employees need 3 years and 625 hours the prior year. With only 7 months.... Unless your Local or "area" has a different agreement.... you don't have insurance yet. In reading your post.... I understand the concern for your health and child. But....as soon as you are put on restrictions you cannot meet the "essential functions of the job" which includes lifting up to 70lbs. Most of the time.... it is the persons Doctor that "jumps the gun" when they find out what you do. They do that to limit "personal liability" or get sued for malpractice. Even when you are a seniorty employee with insurance.... You take an unpaid leave of absence until your short-term disability kicks in for birth of a child. -Bug- [/QUOTE]
