What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New Jersey
Hi,
I'll first explain my jobs call out policy. When I call out I get a one point. Now if I go 90 consecutive days without a call out I lose one point.
I while ago I read another post about someone asking a question about intermittent fmla and regular call out policies, I can't remember exactly the question, I know it had to do with her job telling her that their policy over rides fmla policy, something crazy like that. But what I do remember is that she got a response in her thread that intermittent fmla and regular call out policies do not effect each other, they are separate policies and fmla is federal and regular policies do not over ride fmla policies.
So my question is that. I have points on my record for using regular call outs. I went 90 days without a regular call and I was expecting to lose one point off my record, but I didn't. I asked them why I didn't lose a point and they said I call out during those 90 days so I don't lose a point. I said yeah I did call out but that was with my fmla and they said it doesn't matter a call out is a call out. So they are actually penalizing me for using my fmla, so it feels that way.
Like I said I have not idea the law on this, but I feel that fmla shouldn't effect my employers regular sick call policy.
Thank
Anthony
