STATE: ALABAMA:I'm writing because I went on leave with my now three year old daughter who had to have surgery on both her legs/hips in December 2004, she was placed in a partial body cast for two consecutive months. I took the leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act, I returned to work February 2005.
Upon my return, six months later I became due for an annual increase, at that time I began to question my supervisor as to why she hadn't gone over my annual performance evaluation w/ me, she informed me that she didn't receive anything from HR stating I was due for a raise at the time. I went to HR where they informed me that per cooperate offices my raise had been pushed back b/c I was on leave with my daughter.
I was w/ the same company when I gave birth to my daughter and upon my return from maternity leave I got my raise on time that year. I was out from December 2001 until February 2002. I don't understand nor do I appreciate the handling of things. I wasn't informed at the time I went on leave nor at my return that my raise date had to be changed.
