Mike's HR lady is actually on the ball about all of this, she even sent us papers for LTD just in case, and warned us that Liberty Mutual (who handles LTD) takes a long time to decide on these things. Hopefully, it won't go that far. Hopefully he will be back to work by the end of the month, and it won't be an issue. But if necessary, at least we have the paperwork to have ready far ahead of time. Trust me, I've been keeping an eye on the money! It's all been okay so far! I hope you and David get your money soon. That completely sucks! Nicole, we have been very lucky in all of this.

I cannot even begin to tell you all the issues that we have had with David's disability since his stroke last August. The first part went ok because it was basically usage of his vacation time and then 6 weeks (I think) of full salary continuation before the FMLA portion started. From the time his FMLA started, it was a mess and his company tried to screw us out of over a month's worth of paid time. If I hadn't kept 100% track of every minute of pay he was due, they would have gotten away with murder. His HR lady is a complete idiot. They still screwed us by having him work part time during his FMLA usage (another LONG story in itself). Now, we are waiting for his long term disability to start and that has to come from Sun Life insurance company. You know how FUN insurance companies are to deal with! As of July 7, it will be 12 weeks that we have been waiting. Of course, David is not getting paid while we wait and we are trying to live on my meager pittance of a salary, plus borrowing MAJOR buckage from my parents to make ends meet. He'll get back pay once Sun finally approves his claim, but DAMN, we are BROKE in the meantime. If Mike ends up being out longer where he has to start on FMLA, make SURE you keep track of every minute he is supposed to get paid for. Don't trust his HR person to keep accurate count.
