fmla
i had to go out of work,for 4 to 6 weeks, for bypass surgery. i have plenty of sick,annual,and compensatory time on the books, i provided my workplace with the proper documentation from my surgeon stating this. i was told,if i was out for longer than 15 days,i had to sign up for fmla.can they do this? i would rather pay my own way, since this is time i have earned over the years, and use fmla as absolutely neccessary. my interpetation, is that fmla was designed for people who had no time, or were about to run out,and to save your job. i have wrote you before,but have not recieved a reply.
