Earlier in the year I had some health issues. I was in the hospital and missed some work. I lost some wages and ended up using up all my vacation.
When it first happened our company HR person told me that FMLA would cover the time I was missing and would take care of the wages and I would not have to use my vacation time. Because of that information I made some choices I might not otherwise have made.
When I got back I was told that the information I had been initially given was wrong. The implication was that it was my responsibility to figure out what the right information was.
I'm just wondering who was in the right on this. I feel like it should have been the company's responsibility to give me the right information. They obviously feel that I should have figured it out for myself.
Does anyone know what the law is on this? Also, how do other companies handle this kind of thing?
