what do you think would happen if our VSP application was denied, then we made it through the August cuts and then decided to take medical leave?
if they were to terminate your employment during that point, do you think there would be a case if there’s proof of denying the VSP?
I have a feeling I’m going to be held back and blocked from moving internally. I’d like to buy myself some time and I need a mental break.
LOA only protects you so much. They can still lay you off while on FMLA as long as they can prove you would have lost your job even if you weren’t on LOA.
If the layoff is company wide being on a LOA will not protect you
@ab I think you may have missed the OP’s note where they said they need a break. some people are extremely burnt out and need to breathe before their next position.
Why not just start looking for employment elsewhere? If they want to fire you, they'll find a way.
LOA does not matter during my RIF they termed people out on maternity leave they truly are a heartless company
I think Centene outsources most leave-of-absence stuff, so they take on the compliance and risk. Leave approvals and termination decisions would follow the law -- the whole point of the vendor is to protect Centene from being sued.
