Archived Medical Leave

[Marcellow]

So I plan to have surgery and due to the nature of it, I would have to take 2 months off for recovery. I have been working at Target for less than a year so I need to do an LOA.

Do I need any paperwork from my surgeon to give HR/Target? I'm paying this out of pocket.

A doctors note to hr. Apply to short term disability.

Okay, do I need that now to have the LOA approved or before it ends?

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Loa first. Then Hewitt. It suggest to let your etl or tl know.

They changed it again.They are supposed to go straight to Hewitt for anything medical.

The only benefit is you don't have to tell a nosy etl HR what your medical situation is.

Hewitt? What's that?

Hewitt is the definition of misery. They were such a pain to deal with when I took my LOA. My store was fantastic, my doctor did what he needed to do, but Hewitt was like a pesky mosquito that always seemed to be bothering me, while also managing to not get much accomplished in a timely manner

I found the "leave and disability team" excellent and very easy to deal with,I did have problems and issues,all of them caused by my own doctor's inability to fill out the required paperwork,so if I was to give you one piece of advice it would be to proactive in having any forms they require filled out promptly and returned to them and you should have no issues.As for my own store? absolutely useless,perhaps that is why that now a year later none of the major players work for Target.
