We hired Barrett to run Music Video Sins and help with the podcast . We have two editors that do 90 % of each edit before Chris or I take over and finalize it . And we have two writers . So . it ' s grown a bunch ! <| sep |> To clarify a few things the punishment stems from the claim that I did not report the absence to the third party Fmla group in a timely manner . Which when i was told after the fact to do so I did call and report it still within 48 hrs but that was apparently not good enough . Despite the fact I had already put the absence in our company Time off request software and had reported it as being FMLA time a week or so ahead of time . This undocumented unexcused absence resulted in an attendance at policy violation and resulted in me being sent home immediately and the loss of two paid holidays included in that full unpaid punishment week which as I ' ve said before Is a huge loss financially as someone with two small children and also puts me on thin ice as far as the attendance policy is concerned . Being in the situation I was in as far as attendance from my personal problems at the early part of the year and my openness my employer and union official it just would make no sense for me to intentionally or apathetically avoid logging time in the manner i thought was needed . On top of that I have been at least tried to have been in contact with my Fmla provider since I was alerted last Friday that my absence was as denied .
