What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? SC
I have several weeks of paid sick leave available with my employer.
I recently was out for two weeks due to gallbladder surgery. My company is not allowing me to use the paid sick time I have available and instead has made me use the short term disability insurance through the company to pay for the two weeks I was out. The problem with this is short term disability only pays 70% of my salary so I am out the 30% when I have over 2 weeks worth of paid sick time available to use where I would have received 100% of my salary. Can they do this?
