How To Obtain Paid And Unpaid Time Off From Work For Health Reasons

Ask Co-Workers To Donate Time

Next » « Previous

5/8

Perhaps you can obtain time off with pay by asking co-workers if they would be willing to donate time. A batch of co-workers contributing a few days can add up.

If it’s important to you, keep in mind that disclosing your health condition to co-workers is not protected by law so there is no requirement that they keep the information confidential.

NOTE: Consider using your situation as a trigger to create a pool of time that co-workers are willing to put some time into to help each other. Whoever needs time off in the future could dip into the pool without having to ask individuals for assistance. For guidelines about setting up a pool, click here.
