[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]My HR wants me to send her a memo about leave restriction for unscheduled leave. I think that is a little excessive. [b]She has no performance issues [/b]and I see this as a conduct thing. [b]However, she is placing me in a bad position as another team member has to present and many times, I have presented for her.[/b] Most people on my team enjoy traveling, so that is not as big a deal. What would you do? [/quote]

I don't know how you could possibly think this isn't a performance issue.  She's not doing her job, and others are forced to pock up the slack, including her supervisor.  That's the definition of a performance issue.  And if it's legit, there's no reason to not seek an accommodation - that's the whole point of an accommodation.

You should involve HR.  [/quote]

It seems hard to imagine someone saying an absence was “life or death” without it being a significant thing unless the employee is really wacky in which case you’d probably know that already. If she’s otherwise a levelheaded seeming person it dies sound like there’s something significant going on / the person mentioning IVF might be on to something.

Is she absent other times that don’t correspond with needing to present or travel? If not…that’s a little weird it it’s more than 2-3 times and only on those occasions. If she’s just been out a lot in general, could you limit her role on some of these things for a while - especially travel, since it sounds like others would be happy to do it, but it’s hard to sub someone in at the last moment.[/quote]
