60 days? Who in the hell needs 60 days paid leave?

You get put on the wrong medication combo. It causes you to have thoughts that you've never had before: suicidal thoughts. You try to commit suicide with pills but in the process, end up in a coma for 3 days, lose 60 lbs, and it takes 4 weeks to regain your strength from the damage you caused your body (Such as properly eating, moving about, etc). You spend the next 2 weeks in an institution to ensure that you are no longer suicidal and all is well.
And this all happened because you had a mix-up with your medications.
Total time: about 2 months.
Could that happen?
Yes. This is the exact story of my coworker and friend.
Some medications make you suicidal as a side effect. It's very weird how shit works in different people.
Ah, unpaid leave, that makes more sense. But what would a healthy, sane man need it for?
I was off caffeine last night, apologies.

... well a healthy man probably wouldn't need it. I don't think you get it for free regardless; I think the idea is that you are allowed it if you need it.
On checking, caring for a sick immediate relative is covered. That's fair enough for a healthy man.

A Doctor must give it to you. You, or an immediate family member that lives with you, must have a medical condition.
Thing is where I am nearly everybody has it and a lot of people abuse it, though some legitimately need it. It can be given intermittanly..you can call in on any given day or days, leave work when you feel like it, all you have to do is say "FMLA" and the employer has to honor it and can press no further, regardless of business levels or staffing conditions. It must be renewed yearly.
In some cases the employer can request medical documentation every 30 days depending on the condition but this is usually for block FMLA given for specific period of time, not for intermittant.

Wouldn't a person that DDM described in his post be awarded "medical leave?"

People will try to abuse laws, of course, but in the case of decent social law like this, that's no reason to dislike the law; it's a reason to improve its policing.
And I'd assume so, RJ, but only that law guarantees that he won't lose his job as a result.

Well, here, at my job anyway, we get two weeks paid vacation. We also are allowed a handful of sick days (non-paid), maternity leave and medical leave. These days do not cut into out two weeks vacation time.
I don't even know if that's relevant, I just felt like sharing.

When I get promoted later this year, I'll get six weeks paid vacation.

GM. I'll get two weeks still as an AGM. When I become an AGM (late spring, early-mid summer), I gotta spend around six months in that position before I become a GM, so hopefully by the end of the year or early 2012 I'll be a GM. It's really up to me, how hard I work at it.
