One company I worked for considered that time a reasonable accommodation and
gave me the time off paid. Others have had me use vacation or sick time. I'm
currently a contract employee, so my recent trip to GDB was completely
unpaid which was bad. sigh.

I'd be interested to hear how people have arranged time off work to go to
class.
I am not keen to lose 3 weeks' pay. I could use vacation time, if I am
careful about not taking much and saving some up. I could try to work
during class, but I'm not sure that's a great idea. Class is stressful
enough, without adding in work. I would like to use some of my sick days,
of which I have a whole heaping lot, but, last time, my boss could not get
that idea through HR's tiny heads. "She wants to use sick time to do what?
Get a "guide dog?"".
Last time, the boss just made an arrangement on the QT, as a big favor.
How have other people arranged this?
Tracy
