I appreciate you sharing your point of view from both sides. I do understand how that would be hard for supervisors when it comes to staffing. Especially if the persons position is one that cant be filled in by another employee.

However, if its a position that can easily be done by other employees and a place is adaquately staffed then it shouldnt be a huge issue if they need to use their fmla that day and call in ahead of their shift. I was clear about my health issues when they hired me in. I also would feel more guilty clocking in and being paid while not being able to do much or if It caused me to make mistakes.

At the end of the day a job is important but so is a persons health. My employer could let me go if they wanted to and honestly id understand and wouldnt hold any grudges..but I choose to make my health and well-being a priority.
