Anyone have to take time off work for a family emergency? Should I worry about coverage?

When my grandpa had a stroke I took FMLA and took off several weeks to go be with him in the hospital. I am not sure how your job is set up but mine I didn't have to worry about finding anyone to cover me. If you can take FMLA that will protect your job.

Sorry to hear that. Thanks for your input!

Normally it is as simple as notifying your supervisor and then following documented policy.

Yes, I have done that. Thanks!

If you take leave, you should be fine. If you quit or lose your job then yes you risk losing your insurance coverage. They are options like cobra but that’s never great. So I would try to go on family extended leave so that way you’re still technically employed, and you don’t lose your benefits. Good luck to you.

That’s what I was thinking! Thanks!

It depends on what your job is

Not in leadership but also not an IC either.

I wouldn’t worry and would focus on your family. FMLA leave can cover this legally as well!

Yes I will thanks!

For expert witnesses/lawyers

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?

I’ve been verbally offered a position at a new company, but the recruiter insists on getting a verbal acceptance before sending the offer in writing. This person insists on negotiating salary before sending the paperwork. Generic benefits, RSUs, bonus info have been provided; it’s all unofficial.

Interviewing at a dream company, and right from the first interview the recruiter told me we are way off on salary expectations. This was a little bit expected, as the role is requiring a few years less experience than I have and also in a much cheaper market. They already told me the salary range during this first call, but wondering if they like me enough and I get an offer, how I might approach negotiating for more. I would be making much less than I do now, but it is a dream company.

I’ve been approached my by company that one of our large clients (who im currently project managing for) is looking for a consultant of sorts, and if they hire us, I’d be the first person asked to take on this consultant role. This isn’t something my company typically offers and would greatly change the scope of my role. Has anyone ever taken on a role like this? If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
