Work keeps writing me up for having to take time off to go to the doctor. Whoo
I’m sorry but doctor. Whoo is Br*tish
If you have a health condition requiring regular doctor’s appointments you might qualify for intermittent FMLA for said appointments. If it isn’t for chronic illness then unfortunately Nurgles’ mission is more important.
Manager said I can only use FMLA if I say it at the exact time I take off otherwise it doesn’t count and she can’t apply it.
I’m not entirely sure what your manager means by this. If they mean it can’t be applied retroactively that’s probably correct (although that would be at the employer’s discretion). If you require appointments or other care for a medical condition going forward you can use it provided you give your employer notice as soon as possible. Typically you would go through a process with HR or your employer’s equivalent to establish you’re using the FMLA leave and then you would provide notice once the appointment was scheduled or as soon as you need to leave for the doctor. You do not have to provide notice you’re using your leave if it’s an emergency but once you are at a point you can provide notice you have to.
Your state laws may also offer enhanced leave.
That she’s a massive tool.
Fuck 'em
