It seems like every house on the road that I live on got some type of food ad delivered today. I feel like a Facebook busy body complaining about this but come on, wtf. What do they think will happen with 80% of these plastic bags that won't be picked up?

I agree, that is one good use for the paper ad! I'm concerned about the plastic bags that these papers are delivered in. Half of them won't get picked up by the homeowner because they're blow away by the wind or just forgotten. I mean, what does The Courant think will happen to all of that plastic? Smdh

Not sure why you’re downvoted, can confirm this is tire. Short term disability is classified as medical leave and not family since you need to provide all kinds of medical sign offs and proof from docs.

Most non-hospital medical facilities are dropping mandatory masking for both staff and patients within the past month or so, especially if they are focused on something like ortho or GI that has nothing to do with Covid or Covid symptoms. The outpatient facility I work at dropped requirement last week.

With urgent cares, you don’t know what people are coming for and a common thing is for serious flu or Covid symptoms. So likely the UC you were at has masking rules for patients but staff rules have been relaxed. They may not even require staff to be masked while interacting with patients anymore and it’s up to personal preference.

Mecha is very good/ trendy/ yummy drinks

Parking in the Crown Street garage is very easy, and a short walk to lots of restaurants.

Oh no.

So anyways...

Teacher, your forgot to assign us homework over the weekend! - you

From my reading of it your job should be protected if you have worked the three consecutive months for the company. HR doesn’t know what they are talking about. And if they were to try and fire you if you meet all the eligibility you could sue and possibly get $$

I believe so.

Is the CTFMLA and FMLA two different things?

I called CTPL today, who I'm doing the claim through. They said the same thing HR was saying, that CTPL is only supplementary income and NOT job protection. That even though it is contradictory, my employer has the right to end my employment essentially stopping any sort of supplementary income, at their discretion. I am getting so much conflicting information, I really don't know what to believe.

Thank you, this is what I've been looking for. Does this extend to any state?

Seems like HR doesn’t know what they are talking about and you should do more research on state of CT or state legal aid websites.

But the CT family leave law may protect their job. Separate from the law about CT Paid Leave program.

I never pay in West Hartford center and I’ve gotten a ticket once I think. But I don’t park right on Farmington Ave. I do tend to go later in the day when parking staff may be off duty. Or park at Whole Foods.

CTPL does not protect your job - from the FAQ

IS MY JOB PROTECTED IF I UTILIZE THE CONNECTICUT PAID LEAVE PROGRAM?

The CT Paid Leave Authority only offers payment for people who take leave for qualifying events, but does not offer job protection to employees taking leave. Only employers can determine, in communication with the employee, whether the leave taken is subject to job protection under state or federal leave laws.

Yes, this is the correct answer, see CGS Sec. 31-51kk(1):

> “Eligible employee” means an employee who has been employed for at least three months immediately preceding his or her request for leave by the employer with respect to whom leave is requested;

The people that deliver it couldn’t care less

If you are birthing the child, disability is also a factor. Standard practice is 6 weeks for a vaginal delivery, 8 for a cesarean. That being paid or not is employer dependent, but it is considered medical leave, not family leave (similar to if you were in car accident and had to miss work).

I leave it rotting in the driveway to give them a hint that I don't want it.

If you mean the Courant community, the paper they chuck in everyone's driveway, you can unsubscribe from it.
