I’ve been very sick recently and have a note from my doctors to take three weeks off. How do I go about doing this? I saw a few posts about LOA and FMLA but don’t know which one applies to me. I’ve been working here for <1 year, in case that matters. I would really appreciate if someone could explain
Also fmla is for family not you
Just Call LOA and tell them you have doctors note. They would tell you your options
Is there FMLA at Amazon? Paid or unpaid?
FML and LOA are both for people who have been here a year, generally. So, you would be an exception, if my memory serves. This is not terrible, exceptions can happen. If this is a mental heath issue, I would be wary of disclosing it, and would strongly recommend chatting with an employment lawyer to make sure you understand your options. Same for anything that might put you into a “disabled” category, like carpal tunnel. Otherwise, if it’s basically straightforward, will correct itself with time, and doesn’t have a stigma attached, I would just chat with manager and HR, and they will work out something.
Remember — it’s hard to hire people. If you are valued Amazon will jump through a few modest hoops to keep you.
Do the needful 😜😎
Fmla is after 1 year atleast in Massachusetts
