Hi guys,
Went to Japan a few weeks ago and while there got sick and was hospitalized for 5 days. Didn't think it was a thing but someone said I might be able to get the 5 days credited back to my vacation and those 5 days marked as sick. Is that really a thing? I asked hr and their said there is no policy but my manager would credit it with a doctors note, but my manager, who works in the states, basically said it's an interesting situation and we should talk about it on phone when he is back.. So I feel like it will be a "go pound sand" response when I talk to him Monday. My buddy in the provincial government said it's absolutely a thing and mandated by the government as a human rights thing... But I have no idea if it's all bs or a real thing. Anyone have any input? Want to have something to say in my meeting if it's a legitimate ask.
