Would they then code that as a PD or APD?

As the largest provider of self-funded disability solutions, we can offer a combination of services that cover every possible time away from work scenario including short-term and long-term disability, leave of absence Family and Medical Leave (FML) and workers’ compensation.

...

Administration services:
• PTO

The FA's already use Saklick, so yes they do work with aircrew.

I just saw a press release stating that Delta hired Sedgwick as its new workers compensation administration firm.

I looked up Sedgwick. Lo and behold, they also offer a "Disability and Absence" monitoring service.
Here's the description: https://www.sedgwick.com/claims/Page...tyabsence.aspx

Do you suppose Delta signed up for the "package deal" in anticipation of this TA passing? Workers comp and "absence" management.

They don't list "airline crew" as one of their specialties. What could possibly go wrong?

At any point in time, the average large employer has 20% of their employees absent from work due to an active family and medical leave (FML), disability, workers’ compensation or other type of absence request. The impact of unscheduled employee absence on American business has been estimated at $74 billion or as much as 36% of payroll. And that’s a drain on everyone.


As the largest provider of self-funded disability solutions, we can offer a combination of services that cover every possible time away from work scenario including short-term and long-term disability, leave of absence Family and Medical Leave (FML) and workers’ compensation. Our integrated programs provide a high degree of customer service and return employees to work as quickly and safely as possible. We are the only administrator with a solid focus on tailoring our services to the unique needs of each client. And after just one year of working with our clients, we typically see a 15 to 20% reduction of unnecessary absences. Our team of more than 3,000 disability and leave experts not only ensures compliance with the myriad of complex federal laws governing disability and FML, but they also treat each employee with compassion and respect, and act as an advocate for their overall health and wellness during the disability or leave process.

Administration services:
• PTO
• Sick time
• Vacation
• State, federal and municipality leave such as FML
• Short-term disability
• Long-term disability
• Military service
• Employer specific process
It's always the coverup that reveals so much more than the actual crime. The fact that they posted information about Sedgwick on Deltanet then immediately removed it speaks volumes.

They do plan a sick leave harassment program. And they don't want us to know until after we vote.

One day I was driving from my house about an hour or so away from the airport to the training center for my 88 to 717 transition. I had this 717 VFD in my possession and it didn't work. I really wanted a new one. I had this email I was supposed to send my request to was a female. And a Delta employee mind you.

So I decided instead of texting and driving I'd use my speak texting thing. I remember saying "I'd like to come in and swap it." Referring to my VFD.

I was about to hit send without looking at what it wrote for me. Something told me to look. And I'm glad I did because what it decided I meant was: "I'd like to c**swap it."

That was not what I was trying to say. At all. In any way shape or form. I'm still not 100% sure what that is and I'm not going to google it. Even though I'm sure there are plenty of websites, images, videos, video sites and so forth that would be glad to explain it. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.

Better make sure your doctor releases ONLY the pertinent information and not all your records, which commonly are released by the office staff in a release to other healthcare professionals

Manager, I have checked the facts. Delta Health Services will be administrating the verification process. Currently, that is Dr. Faulkner.
