Legal Question in Medical Leave in Massachusetts
Family leave act, time off
I recently ruptured my achilies tendon outside of the workplace and my employer told me that if I am out of work for 12 weeks that I will have to take payment for all of my vacation, sick and personal time in one lump sum and that when I return to work in about three months, I will not be entitled to any vacation time even if it is unpaid. Is there a way to claim this time off?

Perhaps you could make a worker's compensation claim depending on the circumstances.
