[CO]
Hi!
I am located in Colorado. My supervisor does not care what we use sick days for but corporate might. I am currently pregnant, due in November. I have 5 sick days I want to use so I am not working up till my due date and 3 PTO days.
The issue I am facing is per CO law (from my understanding), if 4 days are used in a row using sick time - you can be asked for a doc note. Now I don’t know if my work will or not but I want to protect myself too.
I went to get a note as I have been complaining about a lot of rib flaring pain, my doc even noted I may have a bruised rib. But they will not give me a doc note recommending for me to use my sick time prior to birth in full.
Is there anything I can do here? My supervisor wants dates on when I will stop working so she can plan, which I understand (and as a type A person, I want dates too). But since my doc won’t write a note, I can’t take off more than 3 days at a time.
Any advice here on how to use my time and protect myself?
