Anyone ever take longterm disability leave? At Accenture now and have a serious health issue that needs fixing. How do I maintain my insurance, not get fired, and take long unpaid leave? Would really appreciate any help here.

Idk specifics about Accenture but at McK we have to get a note from a doctor for long term disability. That note is sent to a third party to evaluate its legitimacy. Then HR gives you the green light and you’re off for the agreed upon weeks/months. I believe pay is 66% or something like that of your usual monthly paycheck. You keep all health/insurance benefits.

Oh, that’s super interesting. Yeah a doctor note would be given. Thanks for this. I appreciate the help. Trying to get feedback here before going to HR, so thanks for being patient.

It’s FMLA, so you can’t get fired and they work it as LTD through a case. Start with HR, bc every firm will have different practices/partners for the process.

Correct. You can be fired the second you return from FMLA or disability though. It’s not a good look, but it’s perfectly legal.

I am going through something similar now if you want to DM. I may not have all the answers, but I have some.

We are similar to McK at Accenture for this. There is a policy on the portal if you want to read, specific by country.

Start with your HR Partner, or your People Lead can help. You can actually start the process if it is medical related on-line. A leave specialist is assigned, and they coordinate everything. There is a checklist for you to follow on-line as well.

We use an outside insurance firm that does the coordination with your medical professionals. If they approve, it's approved.

Your primary contact will be the leave coordinator for Accenture issues, (MyTE, return coordination, informing your talent lead...). The insurance firm nurse coordinates your care issues. (Length of leave, Short Term vs. Long Term, paperwork from doctors...).

I may be making this sound complex, but it isn't in real life. The initial registration takes about 30 minutes if not an emergency. The follow-up call with the coordinator takes 30 minutes, the insurance company nurse about 15 minutes twice in the first week, then nothing to do but get well and talk to the nurse for 15 minutes once a month or so. Then 2 calls to get rescheduled for return.

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

Having tough time deciding between IB & Consulting.

Additionally, you can do IB intern and full time consulting but not vice versa. I prefer consulting, but IB seems like the "safer" option? And if consulting does get hit hard, I would hopefully have a full time IB offer via internship.
