Story time: A team member is awarded 3 months of sabbatical for years of service. The member gets sick while on sabbatical and, upon the member's anticipated return to work, submits FMLA for an additional month. The HR manager alters the employee's last day worked as if the member never went on sabbatical prior to experiencing medical issues.The company's sabbatical policy is vague. Malicious intent is obvious! Thoughts?

Ehh malicious intent or not, doesn’t really bother me. If you were concerned about a blatant misuse of company resources or stealing (in this case, time) then I would report it though whatever your ethic channels are.

If it’s more out of spite because you didn’t get a chunk of time off, then I would probably drop it.

This answer comes after years of growth because my petty ass past self would have raged.

Malicious? …maybe I’m misunderstanding. Doesn’t this help the employee?

Ohhh! Wow yeah that’s nasty work

So they clawed back the awarded sabbatical leave after receiving a request for FMLA. And will exhaust FMLA even though it’s only been requested to use 4 weeks.

Retaliation and interference claims are a real risk.
