[quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the advice.  I knew at the time we shouldn't have let her use up all her leave but she had important family reasons for going and didn't feel like she could otherwise, and at the end of the day we care about her and wanted to try and accommodate her.  I think I am additionally frustrated because we were not thrilled about the situation at the time but were trying to do the kind thing and now I feel a little taken advantge of.  Ugh this sucks.

And in response to 7:00, I think my point is that she may be willing to work, but I do not think she is "able" to work, given that she is clearly very ill and would be exposing DC to her illness.  You are right that we, despite our reservations, ultimately allowed this, but we made clear that we expected any additional time off would be unpaid.   By showing up, I feel like she is unfairly doing exactly what you are saying - putting the onus on me to send her home in order to avoid exposing DC, and therefore paying her anyway, instead of staying home herself.

I am sympathetic to the fact that she needs the money but I guess I thought she'd demonstrate better judgment.[/quote]
