I've recently come to find out that I've been accumulating attendance points against me for days that I've missed that should have been covered by FMLA.
Surely just a clerical error, right? I didn't feel like it was necessary to create a whole ordeal over it and went to talk about it with the plant manager, documentation in hand.
What should've been a quick discussion turned into a long winded rant about how company policy states calling off after 11am/pm (depending on shift) results in double points. Pretty much implying I should schedule the medical instances for my FMLA more conveniently for the company.
So I went to my union steward and we filed a grievance. The second meeting was less of a meeting and more of the plant manager being beaten over the head about how dumb he is and how company policy doesn't outrank federal law.
Pretty satisfying to witness and I received all my attendance points back.
