What is the best reason to give an employer, so that I can get a LOA-unpaid?

Question

I just had surgery on the 31st of August & I got 6 weeks paid LOA for that, but I am really stressed out & do not feel like I can go back to work at this point. I am due back on the 14th of October. I did talk to my primary care DR & she will only give me 1 week written excuse. I had asked her for 2 months. I need some suggestions. I am not even sure I need to use my DR. but I was trying to go that route. So, anyone that can help with some good advice, please respond.

Answer 1

talk with your human resources department and see how much LOA you can take unpaid...without jeopardizing your job.
