I had my shoulder cut on last Tuesday and the Doctor wanted me to take the rest of the week off but I knew we were getting behind so I talked the Doc into light duty.
Well I had to go in each day to have the packing replaced so I waited till 3 and and went to the doctor.
I found out today that you can't use sick time for Doctor visits or out patient surgery. You have to be sick and have a doctors note and have to use sick pay in 4 or 8 hour blocks.
So if I would have taken off for 3 days then I would have been paid but since I tried to be a team player and work now I can't get paid.
You have to use vacation in 4 or 8 hour blocks so I have 2 weeks vacation but can't use it either.
I'm supposed to be loyal and work in the rain, snow,110* heat and dead of night without complaining and no questions just do it but then get treated like this.

Sounds like what the place I used to work for would do. They would talk a person into coming in on a vacation day to work and then pay them straight time. We never worked overtime through the week if we took a vacation day through the week.

I`ve been there and got burned like that before. Found out it was better for me to just go ahead and take the sick time. Didn`t mind being a team player but my family had to eat and rent had to be paid.

It wasn't but 6 hours but if you add the SRT time for the jobs I did and length of time that I beat the SRT time that they charged the customer it was more than 6 hrs for the week.
if the factory SRT time is 4 hours and I do it in 3 hours then the customer gets billed 4 hours but I only get paid 3 hours that I was on the job.
But if SRT is 4 hours and it takes me 6 hours then the customer only gets charged 4 hours not 6.
The ability to match SRT time is shop efficiency and thats what raises are based on. I maintain about 115% efficiency and I'm always in the top 5 on the list every month,
So I guess helping a good employee is a thing of the past and companies wonder why they can't keep good people or that people quit without giving 2 week notice and they wonder why

I left my last employer in a bind but I didn't have much choice. The only other guy who knew more than me had to quit because he had lung cancer. I was doing most of his shift and all mine. When I suddenly retired I don't know what happened. I do know in five years 5 guys in a 6 man shop died.

I don`t know what to tell you. If you are union you might want to talk to the steward. If not a talk to your supervisor or boss might clear the air. Main thing is don`t loose your temper or your job without some place to go.

About the only way we could get through to our boss sometimes was to suddenly be available for call out. That meant he had to come in LOL.
