holy crap, sorry dude -- nm - Beaker May 3, 09:07
oh man. really sorry to hear this -- nm - prayformojo May 3, 08:51
Jeebus. The money aspect totally sucks, but it sounds like a nightmare place she should be glad to be gone from. -- nm - David May 3, 08:49
I should be surprised at the callous, venal, indifference of some employers, but then instances like this keep pushing that threshold to another level - ReluctantCynic May 3, 08:49
Oh man. That sucks. :( -- nm - JaxSean May 3, 08:48
what the crap, this is two thousand effing sixteen. -- nm - Max May 3, 08:45
that's awful and terrible and should be illegal -- nm - ty97 May 3, 08:39 5
- It may very well be even if no FMLA. Did she have the sick days to use? -- nm - pmb May 3, 08:45 4
  - she does not get sick days. She used her alotted personal days already. - groiny May 3, 08:47 3
    - I guess that could be legal then. Might be worth asking an employment lawyer. -- nm - pmb May 3, 08:52
    - So, she just acrues time monthly and it can be used as sick or vacation? -- nm - Jim May 3, 08:51 1
      - yeah, she was the office manager, so she is expected to be there. -- nm - groiny May 3, 08:53
I hope you've been wearing a cup, dude...cause it's been nothing but 1 nutpunch after another for you. - Jim May 3, 08:38
dude, sorry to hear. -- nm - budice May 3, 08:33
That sucks man. Someone needs a crotch kick. -- nm - sycor May 3, 08:33
If it's related to the medical stuff check into FMLA. After 3 days you're supposed to fall under it. -- nm - spamlet May 3, 08:32 9
- Isn't it only if it's more than 50 employees? -- nm - Dark Callisto May 3, 08:36 6
  - That could be. I couldn't remember the threshold for coverage off the top of my head. - spamlet May 3, 08:40 2
    - it is a small-ish dental office, so they are no where near 50. -- nm - groiny May 3, 08:44 1
      - :( -- nm - spamlet May 3, 08:49
  - Generally speaking, yes. -- nm - znufrii May 3, 08:40
  - this is correct. -- nm - decline May 3, 08:40
  - (Still a dick move, though.) -- nm - Dark Callisto May 3, 08:36
- Yep. -- nm - pmb May 3, 08:35
- And this. -- nm - znufrii May 3, 08:33
Wow. - znufrii May 3, 08:29
