[nagdu] Medical leave?

[Michael Hingson]

Meghan,

You can make the argument that going to a school to get your guide dog is
proper training and you should be given time off to do this since training
makes you a better and more productive employee. You might also consider
exploring concerning a school doing in-home training. 


Regards,


Michael Hingson

Subject: [nagdu] Medical leave?

Hi all, 

I seen to recall a discussion quite awhile back about going for training to
get a guide being somehow covered under medical leave or something like
that. I am at a crossroads right now and am not sure if I am going to end up
owner training or going through a program, and if I do go to a program, I
will need to take time off of work. 

Is there a way other than paid time off to get paid? I am going to look into
working remotely as much as possible, but I would like to know if training
with a guide dog is covered under some other form of leave. Thanks all.
