[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can’t those people just file for disability retirement if they aren’t able to perform their duties (requiring being in the office) and get their 60/40% pay until retirement while they go find another job?[/quote]

I broke my foot and was on crutches while 7 months pregnant. I needed RA for 6 weeks because it was too hard to get to the office. I don’t have separate disability insurance (and fed government doesn’t provide it) and I wasn’t ready to retire at the time (a decade ago). My agency also would have lost my expertise. People able to perform their jobs from home, but unable to commute for a medical reason, abound have options.  It’s short sighted to take them away. [/quote]

This is a situation where a worker should absolutely have RA. What kind of beast would deny a pregnant woman with a broken foot who CAN work from home the opportunity to do so?

The culture of this administration is supposedly pro-family/pro-pregnancy (I stop short of using pro-life to describe these particular people) but I could see them (Vought, for example) denying an injured pregnant woman RA just to put her in her place for daring to having a job. [/quote]

Np. We don’t do RAs for things like that. We just grant temporary telework for medical purposes. And yes, I just granted one for my employee even though no telework is allowed otherwise. [/quote]
