[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you make the employee take sickleave, you cannot make her work on that day. Is that the situation you want? Or do you want her to at least get some work done on those days?[/quote]

And you cannot dump on her a ton of work when she comes back, "because she was away"....

For those of you saying the worker is using the child as an excuse...wow...you might also conveniently forget that the federal government does not even have any maternity or paternity leave in place. I used 3 years of sick leave to come up with 12 weeks of maternity leave. During those times that I used said sick leave, I was still managing my files from home and answered emails and important phone calls. I did that while caring for a newborn, and up at night at 2 am. Did I give a sick leave request of 7 hours, 1 hour telework, no. I came in for 2 hours at the end of my leave, did i log that in? No. We're not children here.

So managers, listen up---> you want happy employees. Sticklers get back what they give[/quote]
