    Salary requirement while out on sick leave
    Our company policy for all employees requires use of sick or vacation time for days out. Also, we require on line time clock for all employees. We have a department manager that seldom adheres to the time clock policy. Recently, she was gone for over three weeks with a claim of sick time. She used all her sick and vacation time and no other pay was given. During this time, she told upper management she would need to go on disability, but would show up now and then and say she was working in the field. All the while she is reportedly on sick leave and (according to her) cannot work, and no time clock sign in/out. To date, no Dr.'s report to support the same and now occasionally shows up for work. She is demanding full pay. Suggestions / help please.

    What is your companies disability policy, is it work related, what county are you in, Personally any place I have ever worked would just laugh at her.

    We are located in Lake County California. We are a very liberal business. This person will out of the office for days and no way to back up what she has been doing. No disability policy, only if it is necessary and supported by medical finding.

    Normally non work related disability, a company may keep paying them for a few weeks to a couple months but will have a set period. After that they would be expected to have their own private disabiility insurance and then apply for the state disablility if they really can't work.

    But they would always be required to submit written documents on why they can't work, and anywhere I worked would normally offer some light duty work that they could do,

    Here's the best laugh. She was claiming to have degenerative disk(s) and was unable to sit and use her computer monitor. The woman is seldom in the office. Oh, and nothing to say about sitting at the casinos and playing the slots.
