State: NY
Can you take short term disability in "days" or is it a continuous thing? We thought we remembered that in his last job he had filed for STD when he had surgery, used a couple of weeks for his recovery, and then they had told him that he could use days for follow up doctors appointments. He asked his current company's HR department about signing up for STD for when he has appointments or procedures and they informed him that he can do FMLA unpaid but not STD. 1. I wanted to check if that was true and he cannot take STD for sporadic days and 2. is it true that FMLA is still unpaid? I thought NY had paid FMLA now.
