I'm a bit at a loss of what to do since in November I need a minor surgery that will take about 2 weeks of recovery and then I can return to my desk job with restrictions. I informed our HR dept and they stated that they want me to use vacation for my recovery time. It's 2 weeks. We aren't an FMLA eligible employer. I currently have a vacation scheduled in the end of December and already have tickets bought for everything. Employees have taken 2 weeks off with no notice after getting covid and weren't required to take vacation. We also have someone on maternity leave right now. It's such bs they won't cover a 2 week medical leave.
