Kevin's employer really has been phenominal so far. They gave him the 3 months and continued to pay the same amount they would normally pay for his insurance. We covered the part usually deducted from payroll. Then they gave him an additional 3 months doing the same thing. He really hasn't asked if he could have longer because it seemed clear that he couldn't and continue with insurance. So, that is why he is going to go back and see how he does. At least that way he has made a presence.
If, indeed the FML is 12 weeks a year, does anyone know if that is a Jan-Dec year, or a year from the first FML? That would certainly help things. If he could go back for a hitch and really can't do it, maybe he could take 2012 FML and buy more time.
In addition, they have told him they will let him do light work or will find desk work for him. They are being very understanding.
No word on the CT yet. Hopefully this am.
Thanks for the input! Good to hear.
