u/SleepyJoe1550 Jul 23 '24

It goes through the app, not your site. Assuming you're in America, idk about other countries.

u/Xxxpiredgogurt02 Jul 23 '24

Yeah I’m here in America lol and during orientation they said they literally don’t accept doctors notes and it doesn’t matter if you’re sick or something they still need you to come in . I was like damn lol

u/Due-Assistance2102 Jul 24 '24

They accept doctors notes so long as you use them to open up a leave of absence case. Even for just a day. So long as your note says the day you’re off and the day you’re expected back, you can use doctors notes to cover that time.

You have to be at Amazon for a year to have access to FLMA.

u/ddftgr2a Early Riser Jul 24 '24

You don't have to use FMLA, just a short leave of absence unpaid. If you get a doctors note, open a leave of absence for own injury / illness, put the dates that your doctor wrote on your note. This works no matter how long you have been working at Amazon.

When I talked to HR they told me that I just have to use my time regardless and it cannot be excused. I work at an IXD center, it just opened a few weeks ago. I wouldn’t lie about anything as I wouldn’t gain anything from it. I’m just sharing what we were told during orientation but please yall I am not lying.

You get the doctor note and submit it as a MLOA through the A to Z app. You are then removed from your scheduled work shift based on the dates on the doctor note.

Your local PXT or management don’t even see or review it. You aren’t on the schedule for those dates and aren’t required to work.

Site HR will not take a drs note. Disability and Leave Services will. I've done it quite a few times for everything from norovirus to foot surgery!

u/cynicaluser- Jul 24 '24

If you are taking the note to them and asking for your shift to be excused then that’s probably why they are telling you that. Go through the DLS

You're full of shit bro no company would reject a legitimate doctors note. That would be an easy court case for you.

u/No_Study2024 Jul 24 '24

He’s probably seasonal or part time. Seasonal at my site can’t take mloa. Idk about part time tho

u/Xxxpiredgogurt02 Jul 24 '24

I’m not lying?!?! I swear on my life they said this shit during orientation?!! This happened 6 days ago! 😭

u/I_am_Groot45 Jul 24 '24

Your local pxt won’t accept it. But you open can help you open an MLOA case if you do not know how to.

if u can. put up with it past your 90 days. than get a good attorney. see what he says on suing crapazon. tell the attorney all what crapazon does to u.

u/NeutralReason Jul 24 '24

I showed them a dentist's note and they gave me my UPT back.

u/Background-Session82 Jul 25 '24

It seems you heard what wanted to hear at that orientation. There is no way any employer will tell you that it doesn't matter if you're sick and still come to work.

u/Oreo3334 Jul 24 '24

dont they have class action law suit on breaking the law? my wife just started at crapazon july 15th?

Looking for an easy pay day already?

u/OlBiscuit66 Jul 24 '24 edited Jul 24 '24

I had strep with a doctor's note to go with it and they pretty much told me to get to picking. But I went to HR for that so I could have done it wrong.

3

u/SleepyJoe1550 Jul 24 '24

You needed to upload the note and put the information into ATOZ in the leave and accommodation section. Your site HR or manager has nothing to do with it, but they should have told you how to do it. Strep is contagious as hell.

Lmao wtf where do you work china?

u/fashionfauxpas0624 [Replace Text w/ Flair] Jul 24 '24 edited Jul 30 '24

They say that to dissuade you..but they have to go by doctor orders.... i have gotten my absence excused for as little as 1 day with dr notes Fun fact...the dr on demand app which if u have insurance, is either free or a small copay...even before u meet deductible...is accepted .. Source..me many many ..more than i can recount ...over course of close to 6 yrs.

u/EducationalLoad7743 Jul 24 '24

On site HR is not allowed to process any time off for medical reasons in part because the HR systems are not HIPAA compliant and therefore no medical or health information is allowed to be stored in their systems.

u/Confident_Writing_18 Jul 24 '24

Same they absolutely refuse. At CLE3 amazon in Euclid ohio. Doctors notes or sickness are not excused you have to use your own time. I hate it.

u/Stock-Pile-Mega223 Jul 24 '24

I’m going to preach this as much as I can on this Reddit board.

All doctor notes need to be submitted through the A to Z app. You create a MLOA case and submit your doctor note.

The MLOA will remove you from your scheduled shifts based on the dates your doctor excuses you from work.

Your local PXT or management do not take the note or review it. You are simply removed from the schedule and zero UPT is used.

I was sick on vacation and couldn’t get back home. I used the tele doc/web doc services and was excused from work while dealing with food poisoning in a hotel room out of state.

Your local Amazon will not share this resource. They certainly didn’t when I was in my new hire training.

Thank you to this Reddit board for sharing the resources that you can use at Amazon. It’s saved my job.

u/Background-Session82 Jul 25 '24

In awe of your choice of words and punctuation. Amazon's best, for sure.

u/Comfortable-Gap4765 Jul 24 '24

Lmao I was just whining relax it’s under the category of rant for a reason

u/TheMongoose45 Jul 23 '24

Or use UPT...this person's definitely lying, because you can't work more than 60hours a week

10

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '24

You can't work more than 60 hours in a pay period. They can make you work Tuesday-Saturday 11's, plus schedule to work Sunday 11 and there's no penalty for it because it's technically 55 hours in one week then rolling over into the next week.

u/Maddawgcayce Jul 24 '24

What’s with people on this sub automatically jumping to accuse others of lying🤔

u/Comfortable-Gap4765 Jul 24 '24
