TIL that if your partner dies, the Federal Government caps how much of your accrued sick leave you can use to grieve (or take care of a young child, or fight that same Federal Government over life insurance payouts), at 104 hours.
I understand that this is far better than most employers (so please, just don't), and yet, i'm perhaps less prepared to work now at hour 105+ than i was last month.
@bikepedantic There's no limit to the amount of sick leave you can use for your own personal medical needs, so I'd hope your management would support you running through that loophole and give you the grace you need/deserve/have earned.
@LhasaCM thanks, yes, i have a blank check to be 'sick'
@bikepedantic Sorry to hear. Hoping it gets better for you.
@bikepedantic if there is anything I or MAMAS can do, lmk? (I have afternoon hours often free and could hang out with you and/or your child outdoors and/or in my garden in Porter?)
@crystalvisits THanks! But we're quite well covered
@bikepedantic man, that's hard. Any support from neighbours, friends, or family?
