Extending leave time

 My Hr department is asking for a statement from my physician for continued medical leave. I really have no medical reason. I am just still sore, tired and have a hard time bending down. I work 12 hour shifts. Anyone have any ideas?

 That IS a medical reason.  If you can't perform your job because of having surgery, then it is a medical reason.

Most surgeons don't have a problem giving you as much time off as you need.  Mine asked me how long I wanted off.  You need to rest - it was MAJOR surgery.  How long ago did you have it?

I think for my TT I took 4 weeks off.  My BL/BA I took off 3.

Ok - I see it now.  You've been off for about 5 weeks.  You DID have a lot of work done... If I had that much, I'd have asked for 8 weeks off...

 Call your doctor and explain what you are feeling and what type of work you do.

They may extend your medically necessary leave or suggest 1/2 days.

If they don't, you may have to take the time as unpaid leave.

I agree with everyone else...call your doc and explain how you are feeling.  Not having enough strength yet to do your job is a medical reason....especially if your work is physical. 

good luck
