My supervisor and I spoke for about an hour today trying to figure this out, anytime canonical fourth dimension off has to be scheduled past the availability of time, I had originally attempted to schedule personal personal time and fourth dimension to have a Doctor'southward appt

(cont'd) both which were denied considering our vacation has been refilled then anybody has scheduled vacation time since they can. I as well asked if she could exercise a supervisor override then I can take time just for the date and she said she's...

Not able to do so, so if it were upwardly to her it would exist fine but she does not have the ability to corroborate it. I just have no way of knowing if the FMLA will be approved. I don't know if in that location is a way I can find out for sure?
