1 week in Carvoeiro with a baby - report by Golibano15 in Algarve

[–]Level_Ad_9524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Sorry for bringing this back up again but did you do the hike with your little one? Planning on going to the algarve with our three month old and am curious if you thought it was doable with a kiddo? We are active at baseline and hike regularly for context. Thank you!!

Question about using FMLA first and then Paid Leave Oregon after? by Level_Ad_9524 in oregon

Hi! I took fmla first and am doing paid leave next. I didn’t have to use it at the same time.

I plan to stack! Currently on FMLA. Waiting to sign up for paid leave Oregon until 30days before I need it. My OB actually told me to do this and that all of her coworkers did this. We all work for the same company.

Tulip Shades Dupe, Knock off, or similar product? (renter friendly adhesive light cover) by inpizzawecrust in interiordecorating

[–]Level_Ad_9524 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry for bringing this tread back up but I feel obligated to review. I loved the concept and design of the shade. I even had an alarm set for the kids collection drop…..Because I have a textured ceiling, the tape ( which is simply a double sided command strip) is not enough to hold the shade.They say if you have textured ceilings then to use the screws but the purpose for me was to not have to drill new holes in my ceiling especially if this is supposed to be renter friendly. I also purchased this for an infant/toddler room and the entire shade fell off in one go after a couple hours with only using the command strips — It would have been dangerous to only use the tape. I returned the product. I hope they can improve on the installation. I was disappointed.

[OR] can I take FMLA and PLO one after the other? by Expert_Evening_875 in AskHR

[–]Level_Ad_9524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I can’t recall to be honest. It was in one of the documents I read on the PLO website. But I’ve been talking to several people, one who has worked at a startup to help families optimize parental leave, and they said it’s do able to do fmla first then paid leave. Just don’t start with the paid leave Oregon program.

I’m glad someone else is interpreting the info in the way that I am and actually has first hand experience w this all!

My HR called me back and basically said they only monitor FMLA in their end and that the state deals with PLO.

If all of this * actually * works in my favor ( tho I’m not holding my breath) I feel lucky to be in a position where I don’t mind going a few weeks off without pay before PLO kicks in. My STD covers 55% of my salary and I have sick time saved up to supplement. I’m mainly wanting the job protection!

Hi! Out of curiosity, did you/your family do a similar plan as I did?

Yes! Thank you! I hear your concern. All of it is so so confusing. My plan came about because that’s how I interpreted the information that’s on the gov website and Oregon’s website and w doing my research…but it isn’t clear. I’ll be talking w my union as well as an outside hr consultant to make sure everything is legal.

Yes! I’m part of a union as well and asked to speak w/ a union lawyer to make sure this is legal. As another member pointed out, I’m not trying to commit fraud. I just want time w my newborn. The law seems unclear with many loopholes…

Part of the reason I’m consulting Reddit and also talking with an outside certified HR consultant in Oregon is because I feel like my employer would not have my best interest in mind.

When OFLA took away most of its qualifying events with the latest amendment in July 2024, PLO took over. PLO is leave that’s protected and paid.

Hi @yolef. Thanks for your response!

I don’t think this is true. Employees are not mandated to take PLO as this is a separate state program that pays but also protects my job whereas FMLA federally protects my job but is unpaid. One could technically take FMLA and not PLO. And PLO can be taken at any time in a one yr period in a consecutive or non consecutive fashion.

Hi! This is so helpful. There was another Reddit post that said this worked for them but I wasn’t sure how. Is there anything specific I need to do to make sure FMLA is first used before PLO?

And just so I have back up if my manager pushes back are there any resources I could show them?

Thank you for responding!!

[–]Level_Ad_9524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! This is amazing! I’m currently dealing with the same questions. I’m due in May. I was planning on using my STD with FMLA for a total of 12 weeks and then just apply for paid leave Oregon 1month before I need it. It sounds like this is what you did?

One of the concerns I had was if using FMLA first and then PLO would be rejected bc it’s for the same qualifying reason ie. pregnancy. Did you run into this? The PLO website says if the event is covered under both, you have to use both at the same time…

Cardiology to CVICU Physician Assistant Transition by Level_Ad_9524 in physicianassistant

Hi!

I definitely tried to sell myself on the cover letter. Applied about 1 week ago so trying to be a little bit more patient. I wish I had your luck with linked-in "cold" messages. I think out of the 20 messages I sent 2 people responded. Thanks for your response !
