So my dad is very ill. He has complications from diabetes and other things and only has about five years to live. My parents just received a letter from his employer saying that the donated leave was only for when he was in the hospital, not when he was at home and unable to work due to being very ill. They now owe about $8k, which will take a year and a half to pay off with $200 per paycheck. Money was already tight, as my mom was supporting me in my situation, which is another can of worms. My dad's employer is a contractor for the government.
