[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Good grief. It's annoying when people miss work, even for perfectly valid reasons. He expressed that annoyance, and didn't cross any lines. [/quote]

So let me make sure I understand this - you have a job that gives you a certain number of sick days that you can use.  This is a benefit of your employment.  But if you take one of those sick days, it is ok for your boss to express annoyance about it?[/quote]

Well, yeah.  And, newsflash--unless the absences are covered under FMLA (must be a serious illness, folks!), you can absolutely be fired for using sick time, PTO, vacation, etc.  [/quote]

I'm posting the rules for you dumb ass. You can use sick leave to take your kids to the doctor or when they are sick. Stop spreading disinformation.[/quote]

The problem is that there are two federal regulations -- the FMLA and the Family Friendly Leave Act.  The previous poster is correct that FMLA only covers serious illnesses.  However, the Family Friendly Leave Act (FFLA) does allow leave for minor illness and doctor's visits.  So you are BOTH right.[/quote]
