Medical Leave -

I have seen several consultants go on medical leave (3 to 4 weeks) lately. What type of medical issues have you heard/seen amongst single consultants in their 20s and 30s ?

What does “single” have to do with anything? Do attached consultants get different illnesses? 🧐😂

Typically mental illness. I am in my second year and took an LOA earlier this year.

I would imagine “single” means not likely taking parental leave.

I have seen team members leave for stress or alcohol dependency issues with that similar time frame. That said stop right now if you’re trying to preplan responses. Talk to HR, either you’re part of their reintroduction plan or you’re not. If you are the firm should prep you, if you’re not (and the employee hasn’t reached out) you’re job is to help them return, not look behind them

I’m working remotely due to an Achilles repair right now. Luckily the client approved remote, or else I likely would have had to take PTO.

Huron1 - that’s rather ignorant of you to say. Yes there aren’t some who may be takin advantage of the system but you’d be surprised by how many what may seem like young healthy bucks can have health issues hit them out of nowhere. How do I know this? I’m one of them. I’m young and in great shape but I happened to get prostate cancer a few months ago

Liver recovery

Circumcision

Honestly mental health issues . In another case the person had a child with his gf and took parental leave.
