Returning Petitions to the United States via 221g

In California, the state labor law say that if you take more than 5 consecutive days off then its considered a leave of absence which technically means they don't have to give you your job back. I don't know which state you live in, but I would be more than happy to research the laws for you

Wow...tough law! I work for a company that is based in California although I am in Utah, and I have just started a leave of absence for surgery. I hope I have a job when I get back! lol

now in morrocs case .. you holler FMLA.

I did....and I am even being paid at 100% my wage for the entire time I am out! I have no complaints..hehe

Wow thats good morocco4ever so is there something can get so that way they have to give me time off? His brothers situation is pretty severe i guess and he is getting worse. They suspect he will never be able to work again. I dont care if I have to go without pay but it would be nice ive earned a week of paid time off id like to be able to use it atleast if they will allow it.

jenn

look in your employee hand book. you know you dont have to get in detailed with them about why you need the time off. make it known.

you dont want strangers in your business at work.

I am fortunate to work for an airline they certainly make for me to take time off and travel.

Shonjaved I did look I looked all over their handbooks all I find is FMLA. I dont want to tell them my personal business but if I dont i dont think I can get time off. I havent been here long enough.

oh I see jenn.

Jenn.

I thought FMLA applies to family situations. couldnt you

tell them you have a family problem and you need to sort it out?

why do they need to know you are leaving the country? why would you even tell them any details. certainly if its medical they have no right to ask you the medical issue. couldnt you say you have a family problem and you need x amount of days to sort it out. - if they wanted to know tell them its a sensitive issue.

Well I think FLMA does but it depends he is only a brother in law. But for their FMLA it says you must of have been employed by them for atleast 12 months. I will have been there about six months soon. I dont want to tell them cause none of them even know who he is they just asked me who the cute guy was hanging up in my desk. I think if i tell them his illness they will know its serious and they would be more filling to give me time off is the thing. thanks for all your help shonjaved.

Only six months....hmmmm...I think this is a problem. I have been with my companyt for over 3 years now. Wish I could be of more assistance, but I think this is more related to your company than anything.

Good luck!

I think so but not sure I know my mom got the time off but another person did her then will do mine. I guess i dont have to worry about it anyways. Most interviews are scheduled by the 7th of the month and thats tomorow. I just hope this dont cause a major problem my husband is only allowed to resign from his job from March to April and he does not want to apply for it until he knows if he is approved or not.

I talked to my boss about this.

she said you could get a simple note from your dr saying you are stressed or somthing and take the time off. I tried jenn.

I am gonna agree with Morocc. maybe the problem is your company.

I know my company makes it easy as pie to take off with no penalty.
