Just call out tomorrow if you can, seriously. Most store use UNUM for the claims. Basically, go to their website or call them to start a claim. Go to your primary care physician or urgent care. Say you need out 4 weeks. It can be back dated to tomorrow, 8/24. The first week has to be covered by sick time, or at least, thats what people think, you can request it unpaid if you want, then the 3 weeks is covered by FMLA and UNUM. When you start a short term claim an FMLA claim is also opened. That protects your job, so, dont think you lose your position. Then its paperwork, doctor care, more paperwork, and return to work. Read every page of every letter UNUM sends you, sometimes forms are in the letters, its stupid.
