Hi, Wanted to know if I can use my sick days and PTO days before applying for FMLA as my focus end this week because I'm sure my manager has madeup his mind to put me in pip. Why I want to do it? Because of vesting date 15 apr and 15 oct. (I want to take fmla / std ) for 8 months.
I think you can apply for FMLA just for max. 3 months
No. you can extend it for another 3 months. Reach out to doc, but don’t file it yet. Once he puts you on pip, file FMla while on clock.
Max vesting time under fmla/std is 182 days. 26 work weeks is the maximum you could go. For personal time, you might not be able to take it separately as its not job protected. However, you can attach it to your first month of FMLA and get paid fully instead
The banana factory strikes again! What a loser place to work. How TF are they still in business?
Do you have a doctor to put through short term disability paperwork? If not, you only get 3 months with FMLA.
Here are the correct steps to take: You do NOT WAIT for PIP but you start now whilst in Focus and your approach should be: 1) Dev List / Focus / Coaching which is the stealth tracking period where your manager does not need to even inform you that they are working against you and coercing your colleagues and others for anything negative (only the negative) against you and measuring you up for a PIP to the head.... you are also blocked from internal transfer without unobtainable VP override. 2) During the above get your medic to listen to your droning about the stress and mental anguish that Amazon / AWS is placing you under... also ask if they can sign off or refer you to a therapist who can do so urgently as the stress is ubearable (use the phrase unbearable stress and anguish and specifically also say that you need some weeks away from it under FMLA)... FMLA evidence flag is set... 3) Amazon manager presents you with Pivot document and you have 5 days to choose Tier 1 severance or take PIP plan.... BANG this is where you submit FMLA into the DLS portal before the 5 days decision period is expired (DLS team need a day or so to respond to you so get this rolling at the start of the Amazon Pivot decision window) and then go on leave. Your backstabbing Amazon / AWS manager and HR cannot intervene if you do this as it is a separate team and *federal* mandated leave. The whole decison window for Pivot / PIP is now mandatorily paused beyond their control.... if it was within their control then they would of course be trying to sink you at every opportunity - its Amazon! 4) Get FMLA paperwork completed by the medic who you have already lined up and prepped earlier and submit that supporting material into the DLS team. 5) Tear through your interview preparation and job hunting networking to hiring companies and dont even consider one hour of work for Amazon... extend FMLA through renewal with the medic up to 12 weeks and throw in caring for family member as that is FMLA allowable too if your family are stressed that you are stressed.... so now you have taken 16 weeks of paid FMLA leave on Amazon's frugal dime. 6) Burn through any paid PTO and sick days before returning to work too as only unused vacation time will be cashed out upon exit. 7) Accept the job offer from a better employer (there are so many compared to Amazon / AWS that if you throw a rock then you will hit upon one), which you undoubtedly will already have received by this time. 8) If you are on a visa then get the visa transfer process rolling under premium processing by the new employer. 9) Return to Amazon / AWS and take the maximum Tier 1 severance option instead of PIP, since every step after not taking that decision reduces the exit payout from frugal Amazon severely. 10) Cash the Tier 1 severance from Amazon and the sign on bonus from your new visa sponsoring employer and roll around on the floor surrounded by hundred dollar bills. 11) Return to Blind and tell the community all about it..... not forgetting to add your new TC tax to the post!!! Bonus level... 12) Rock it like a superstar and position yourself onto hiring panels in your new employer and never ever let an ex-Amazon/AWS manager get through..... your new colleagues will thank you. :-D Fifty percent of new hires gone within a year and average tenure only eighteen months.... hence the RSU vest after two years and tiny low 401K match from third year. Most folks will not see a big chunk of that TC (Frugality Leadership Principle). Rule 1 = Avoid Amazon / AWS Rule 2 = Avoid any companies which hire ex Amazon / AWS managers Rule 3 = Follow Rule 1 and In your next company join the hiring panels to keep Rule 2 enforced It is the way...... and in dealing with Amazon it is a very common well travelled way... happy trails. You are welcome……
Does 401k vesting continue in FMLA especially if you are close to hitting 1000 hrs in year 3?
In the same situation. Unfortunately nope. Let me know if you find otherwise
Thanks for the detailed explanation. Who pays in case of fmla based on personal medical leave and what percentage? Also, does the focus period pause when a person takes medical fmla during focus ? Or they put people on pip as soon as the employee joins back?
Does Amazon Lyra therapist help you get on FMLA?

Does stock vesting continue on FMLA? Knowing Amazon, probably not.
It doesn't (I took FMLA while I worked there and no stocks vested on that time)
Meta is BSing. Of course it continues to vest. Vest stops only after 6 months of LOA
