Can sick days get denied?

What do you mean by “denied”?

I stand corrected.

No, you just say I’m sick. If you are sick for more than three days they might require something so they could put you in short-term disability. Never fake that because that would be insurance fraud.

Hi! Generally, no. However, when you don't have a qualifying reason for requesting sick leave, the request may be defined as long as it is not discriminatory or retaliatory.

Companies are required to give you sick leave. That said, enforcement of such laws tends to be pretty spotty, and there are no shortage of stories of people who were expected to work when sick or are punished for taking sick leave.

With most of the USA being "Employee At Will," remember that you can ultimately be fired for anything, just as long as the reason they give for firing you isn't protected. They might say the reason you were fired is "you aren't getting your assigned work completed on time," but the real reason is that you took too much sick leave.

Yes, sometimes. Based on experience, I had to fight for a week of sick days. They think it can be rescheduled for them to deny when your mind is almost floating.

1YOE medical device NPI Lead looking for salary perspective

Mechanical engineering grad, joined a medical device startup that I had done co-ops at. 8mo into full-time, pivoted from engineering into more of an operations role doing new product introduction (NPI), now with 3 direct reports.

The combination of startup+medical device+NPI seems very unique and I'm struggling to find salary comparables. Currently making 75k but it feels very low given my new responsibility and impact. Any advice?

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year.

I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.
