I work for a very small cyber security company. We currently have 6 total employees including the owner. About a month ago I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma and recently started chemo therapy. I have treatment every two weeks for 6 months (12 total). My plan was to take off from work the days I have treatment since the process typically takes almost all day.
I asked my manager if there were any options for medical leave on these days. He said there was not and I would have to use my PTO days. We get 11 for the year. I have already used 3 this year including one to have a surgical biopsy performed.
Is there anything I can do? I plan on taking a few days off for small trips this summer when I’m feeling up to it. At this point I won’t have any days left to take.
