I think the gen. manager would have worked with me if I wanted to come back full time, but I'm really glad I didn't need the job. I would have been scared out of my mind about money had I been a single parent or if Max didn't have the job he has. The short term that I was applying for paid 60% pay after a 30 day waiting period. Isn't that weird? What are people supposed to do for those 30 days? Anyhow, I ended up just using all of my sick days. I had vacation days built up, but the policy was that you couldn't use them unless you had been there a year.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17717143481714919945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7683571002503102125.post-28409929341697206352008-06-12T08:51:00.000-05:002008-06-12T08:51:00.000-05:00@lauren: I just remembered the full reason I was d...@lauren: I just remembered the full reason I was denied...it was required that you be at Lowe's for 6 months to be eligible for short term dis. I had only been there 4 months when I started taking Clomid, but had been there nearly a year before Barrett was born! But, since I took the drug less than 6 months into my job, they considered it a preexisting condition.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17717143481714919945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7683571002503102125.post-8606215210537907822008-06-11T18:27:00.000-05:002008-06-11T18:27:00.000-05:00I was lucky that I was even allowed to take short ...I was lucky that I was even allowed to take short term disability since I had not worked for the company for exactly 52 weeks or more. I was at like 49. But since I was management, they let me. It was 60% pay after the 8 day waiting period and I was required to use ALL of my sick and vacation time. I took the whole 12weeks allowed by FMLA. I couldn't take any more without potentially losing my job.abbysmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09540118271229143996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7683571002503102125.post-14844424751510097552008-06-11T15:20:00.000-05:002008-06-11T15:20:00.000-05:00Interesting stuff-- depressing, too.

I had to use up all my sick time and half of my vacation for the year, and got short-term disability for the rest of my leave.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I took Clomid too, and my short-term disability was approved... maybe they didn't know!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
