Dear Senator/Representative -
I want you to support changes to the Family and Medical Leave Act to make sure that every American has the same ability that Rep. Tom Kean Jr had -- the ability to deal with an unexpected illness or emergency without going broke.
As written, the FMLA provides 12 weeks of unpaid leave in a medical emergency, but how is the family to survive when the sick person is responsible for supporting the family? The FMLA also does not provide any support to those who are self-employed or work for small companies.
The bipartisan bill introduced in June that would give 12 weeks of paid medical leave to all federal employees is a good start, and while I want you to support this, I also want you to work to expand paid long-term medical leave to everyone.
The Congressional staffers working in Rep Kean's office would not get four months of paid leave. And what about the new accountant starting her own firm with only two employees? What federal assistance helps to support this job creator and her employees if an emergency surfaces?
I want you to work tirelessly for a stronger healthcare safety net for all Americans. We all work hard, and we all deserve the same benefits in a time of crisis.

FMLA and CFRA protections exist for a reason, but healthcare workers still face denied leave and retaliation. If your job changed after requesting leave, it may not be a coincidence. Documentation and early action matter.

Retaliation in influencer marketing and digital media workplaces often appears as exclusion, reduced hours, or sudden criticism rather than termination. California employees are protected under FEHA, Labor Code 1102.5, FMLA, and ADA.

If you or someone you care about has a chronic condition, please look into (or help them to look into) getting approved for #FMLA. The #FamilyMedicalLeaveAct allows me to take time off from work, paid or unpaid, for my chronic illness without issue. I submit paperwork for FMLA through my doctor each year. #MultipleSclerosis #ChronicIllness #FamilyMedicalLeave #PaidTimeOff

(Sidebar: #ReedOConnor is a #conservative #FederalistSociety judge who once ruled the 1968 #GunControl Act was unconstitutional, enjoined the #FMLA because it afforded #rights to #SameSex parents, tried to issue a national injunction on #transgender students’ use of their preferred gender’s restrooms in education inst, & ruled the Indian #ChildWelfare Act was unconstitutional. He tried to make religious employers exempt from the #CivilRights Act & to block #COVID #vaccine reqs for Navy Seals.

I’m just learning about FMLA (Family and Medical Leave Act).
From what I understand, the law permits an employee to “elect to use accrued paid vacation leave, paid sick or family leave for some or all of the FMLA leave period."
"When paid leave is used for an FMLA-covered reason, the leave is FMLA-protected."
In case anyone needs to know.

Med appointment today for #multiplesclerosis. I’m so lucky to have the family medical leave act to back me up for the amount of time I have to take for appointments because of my #MS. How do folks without #FMLA manage? #chronicillness #pwms #familymedicalleave

A day after Gov. Ron #DeSantis’ suspension of Monique Worrell, an executive staff member at the State Attorney’s Office who was on maternity leave was notified of her termination when investigators with the office accompanied by law enforcement made an unexpected visit to her home.
She has spent time in the hospital due to birth-related complications, she told the Sentinel. https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2023/08/11/after-desantis-suspends-worrell-new-leadership-fires-staffer-on-maternity-leave/ #florida #FMLA #legalresearch #discrimination #suspended #fired #maternityleave #WOC -

“Federal officials are introducing a variety of new resources to help family caregivers who need time away from work to support an adult child with a disability.
The U.S. Department of Labor has launched a webpage with fact sheets, frequently asked questions and other materials to help workers know their rights under the Family and Medical Leave Act with a special focus on how it applies to disability caregivers.”

CW: #USpol: exploit in #FMLA
On look, another exploitable hole in US labor laws for protecting medical leave.
"While “firing” an employee on FMLA leave is unlawful termination under New York State law, the Department of Labor stipulates that if an employee is “laid off” while on FMLA leave, “the employer must be able to show that the employee would not have been employed at the time of reinstatement.”"

@gord @etnom @tojosan That’s why I advise employer clients to give a larger amount of #PTO and let employees use it for all purposes. Why have separate buckets of paid sick, bereavement, vacation, etc days off? Do you really want the hassle of policing whether it’s *really* one & not the other? Just call it all PTO. Generally the only time they may need to know details is when it may implicate leave under #FMLA #USERRA etc.

Channeling #DannyDevito in #ItsAwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia #Shadynasty episode, where he's making a sandwich in his mouth.
It also is a #TikTok trend to do sushi bakes and other nontraditional sushi dishes.
I was going to add tuna, but we're actually out. I was surprised.
Time to take pantry inventory.

Also if you ever have to utilize FMLA, you're entitled to use your accrued PTO for your time off under the Act.
Unless of course you don't accrue PTO 🤔
At that point it's at the whim of your manager and HR.
