Work-Related Vent: Finally got LTD paperwork
in GP Moms
I just need to get this out before I do something rash. Because, right now, I feel like marching into my boss' office and screaming to the point that it sends me into labor.
The HR guy finally sent me the LTD paperwork (only after I emailed him about it twice today. I've been waiting on it for 2 weeks after finding out my leave wasn't going to be paid). He has to send in a section and I have to send in a section. Great. Easy enough.
However, he puts at the bottom of his email that he taking today through January 13 off! I know my EDD isn't until the 19th, but this is why I wanted to finish this in December. There's always the possibility that I go early (especially now that my body is doing so much prep) and since he's dragging his feet, there's now a possibility that this won't get filed in time.
Unbelievable. I knew they were trying to be d*cks to make me quit because they didn't want to let go the pregnant lady in case I would sue, but they've been sinking to new lows (first, not telling me that leave wasn't covered, then deciding not to pay me for funeral leave because it was DH's GGPA and not Gpa - and didn't tell me until after the funeral, and now this).
I. AM. PISSED. They better be okay with me not coming back until 6 weeks after this is officially approved if this gets filed late - because that's what is going to happen.

@brij2006 - No. I will, however, be looking for something closer to home. in the event I didn't find something, I would return. I wouldn't quit without having something else lined up though.
Well shoot.
I would respond to his email when your due date is, and why this is so important to get the paperwork processed in a timely manner.
I would also BCC your personal e-mail on it, just in case they were to go through while you're gone and remove the e-mail you sent. This way you have a paper trail that you submitted the proper forms and documents in time to get them done.

They want me to quit so they don't have to pay unemployment. I'm not giving them that satisfaction. DH thinks that they are going to let me go on leave so they don't have pay the LTD either.

As for the funeral leave, the company policy doesn't specify relation, just that "the decision of pay is at the discretion of a team lead." If it's paid, great. If unpaid, fine, let me know and I'll make arrangements to come in afterwards.
I emailed them the day he died and again on Saturday with a copy of the obit asking about what the decision was about pay and got no response (while the person responsible for the decision was emailing me consistently about other topics). I would have gone in for a half-day if I knew their decision was unpaid. They didn't email me until Tuesday to say that the decision was unpaid. Is it within their rights? Yes. Is a d*ck move? Absolutely.
I'd call the insurance carrier directly and ask about LTD for maternity leave. I would be very afraid that it would not be paid since maternity is not a long term disability.
