Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia
Disability
I need to have surgery and I'm on salary and I do have short and long term disability but for the first 2 weeks of short term it doesn't pay you. Does my employer have to pay me since I'm a salaried Manager? I can't afford to have the surgery if they don't pay me.

Re: Disability
What is your company's sick leave policy and do you have any sick time accrued? Also, depending on the reason for the surgery, you may qualify for FMLA benefits. However, FMLA does not guarantee paid leave.
