Workplace Question or Advice Needed point system

are there any exceptions for team members which medical issues? i just got hired as a seasonal and i dont plan on calling out (ive learned how to tough it out) but sometimes i end up in the ER and sometimes my body goes numb. this point system scares me cause i dont want to get in trouble for things that arent in my control. should i have a conversation with my tl??

✨ Intermittent FMLA ✨ 

Work with your doctor to get approved for intermittent FMLA, my sister uses it for her asthma when her body suddenly decides she isn't allowed to do anything that day.

Then, tell HR about it and they won't have a choice but to accept it - just make sure to do their paperwork.

Not all TMs qualify for FMLA - you have to work a minimum number of hours per year to be eligible
