@lynda.leads: FMLA covers more than you think, including mental health, chronic conditions, military leave, and intermittent days off. But your employer can require a healthcare provider to certify your leave. Know your rights and get your paperwork ready before you request it. #lyndasays #LearnOnTikTok
Wait can I use FMLA for my daughter’s mental health??

Most employers nowadays will still terminate you and just use another excuse to do so unfortunately

FMLA doesn’t protect your management’s perception of you. If you’re a common case for being out for long windows, the realization is they don’t need you if the business can keep moving. I know it’s protected time but in the long run people talk and form opinions.

Know the difference between FMLA (not paid just an agreement not to fried you during the leave of time. PFL is paid and only last 8 weeks. FMLA isn’t PFL

my job tried to tell me i couldn't take 3 months off to help my wife around the house and take care of our son while she was recovering from her bone cancer surgery because the doctor said she'd be on bed rest for 4 weeks and then wouldn't be able to life our sons till she got approved all together it took 7 months and FMLA gave it to me and my work was pissed because they said i don't need that time off because it didn't happen to me

All of this correct but the hard part is getting your doctor to listen and actually write you a note

I live in CA. I got FMLA for a mental breakdown, had my doctor help me in the past, and applied for Unemployment and received money while not working. You can get help from any healthcare provider, including an emergency healthcare provider, for a mental health issues or to take time off work.
