  in Employee terminated for excessive absenteeism, potential FMLA? Comment by Bucky333 February 2009

  in Transition to Paid Time Off Plan from more traditional sick/vacation accruals bank Comment by Bucky333 April 2008
• If I understand the question, the issue is not that you can't be paid by both your STD policy and your accrued time, but it cannot equal to more than your regular pay. Is your STD plan the SDI Elective Coverage Program through the State?  Your benef…
