How is it unfair to co-workers?
Unfair to whom. We are all just cogs in a machine. Stick a new cog in and business as usual
My center was using package car drivers as helpers throughout peak last year. Maybe they over hired because of the fiasco the year before. Better to have some reserves on the bench for "stuff" that comes up, such as FMLA, injuries, etc.
Are you saying that someone who had been approved for intermittent fmla would still have to request the day off and your boss could deny it?
They weren't ever really approved I don't think.
That has to be it. Once you've submitted the paperwork and been approved you just call and notify the center whenever you're going to take an fmla day, your boss doesn't have any say so in the matter.
I was on fmla, during Christmas, after my husbands, illness, not a child, still fmla. Peak day he had an appointment He could not drive to, they asked me to have the cardiologist to change it til after the first of January. Did I take it off, or did I honor their request? You know the answer. And all the stuff got delivered, just fine.
And the sad thing is that if they had treated you like a decent human being for the rest of the year you might have actually considered their request because that's the kind of person you are. You get what you give.
Well thank you Jones. yes I would have, because it was not life and death at that point.
Maybe in a 6 driver center like yours , but not in the real world.
No pet adoption loophole, Lord knows I tried.
