Has anyone taken LOA for medical reasons? When did you know to take LOA? I’ve been dealing with chronic wrist pain since starting this job (wakes me up at 4 am, affects my mood) even after seeing a range of doctors and I can’t tell when enough is enough.

I have taken LOA but for a different reason. You’ll need to contact your Coach/ you team’s Talent Leader who is gonna guide you through the process. Remember, LOA means a pay cut and usually it’s utilized after the PTO is used up.
As for the wrist pain, I too deal with mild tendonitis and follow some exercises to keep it under control. I don’t know if you got the wrist scanned etc., it could be nothing or it could be something concerning. Take a medical professional’s opinion again and see how you can solve it

I took 4 months LOA when my health deteriorated, and like you I saw a range of doctors. I finally knew enough was enough when I ended up in the ER. I emailed HR and my practice leader requesting 4 months off. HR advised I could get paid if due to medical reasons, just need my doctor’s signature. Did that and got my 4 months off. I am glad I took that time off as my health recovered miraculously.

How would you handle not getting a lunch break when you are a salaried employee treating patients for 40 hours a week? I don’t get documentation time either, but all notes are to be completed the same day. Some of us have reached out to HR and we’re told to discuss it with the regional director, but the regional director says we’d have to come in early or leave late to block out a lunch break. My commute is an hour each way, so I’d prefer not to make my day any longer. Advice?

Hi everyone,
So I had my NIPT and NT scans last week and I’ve been getting pieces of the results back from my doctor in the patient portal. All seems okay but I’m a bit confused. Does anyone know if FirstScreen is the same thing as NIPT? I was under the impression that NIPT was in 90th percent of certainty for Down syndrome but the result we got, labeled FirstScreen indicate 83% certainty so I’m confused if there are more results coming? I messaged the doctor but haven’t heard back yet.
