Ten years of using little sick time and I still got treated poorly. From that day forward my wife has forced me to use every sick hour we get. In other words, those who don’t abuse the sick policy will still get accused of abusing it so why not just use it all.
I would speak to your rep about that. They are supposed to call you in person and explain the nature of the GFB call. There is no requirement to use the form. The note you send only has to contain the items listed in the PWA.
