So go look it up on our company site. This isn’t the place for that information. You’re about to get a LOT of bad information. Especially when you’re exact answer is clearly spelled on on hr site
I knew someone that was out 12 weeks for major back surgery and was impacted during her leave.
Some of these questions really make no sense for this post. This is such a simple conversation with your boss / Employee relations / HRBP / FMLA coordinator.
As others have said, FMLA does not protect against layoffs or terminations for poor performance/misconduct, it only prevents employers from firing you due to your medical leave. The go/totalrewards site lays out the details of the STD/LTD leave.
@cn not factually correct. Please check the fine prints: https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/29/825.216
FMLA Protects your job for 12 weeks
No role is safe under FMLA. Company can easily give you a severance and let you go at will. Don’t have an expectation that you would come back to your job after FMLA/STD.
