Now that my ankle is caput I am thinking that maybe I should file for short term disability. I have two weeks of vacation and a few sick days I can use but after that I can also work from home but might not be able to get my 40 in each week and it looks like I could potentially be out for 6-8 weeks.
I'm sure someone has probably filed for it, any guidance would really be appreciated. I was also told maybe I should file for time off under the Family Leave Act. I'm pretty sure my company is going to treat me fairly but I would like to know what my options are and would like to be able to hold on to my vacation if possible since I have already been out a week but the office hasn't talked to me about filing for disability or anything yet. I don't want to miss out on any opportunities or loose too much pay.
Thanks
