My lady is pregnant with our undoubtedly first child plus both of us are excited. I particularly want to be there during every step of the process. I have been trying to attend all of the appointments with her, so all of us can be together when she gets all of the news about the baby; The sonogram that will determine the baby’s sex is on Monday plus I told our boss that our lady had an appointment during the day hours. I told our boss that I needed to go condo at noon on Monday. I had our schedule for the month plus I was supposed to help with a commercial HVAC installation on Monday. I told our boss that she had to change the schedule, because that would leave a single girl to complete the rest of the installation task on her own plus she would be there all night long. I knew that I wasn’t going to come back to work after I was done at the appointment, so when I left at noon I was going to be gone for the whole day. My boss gave me a strenuous time about the schedule; She reminded me that I was a full-time HVAC employee plus I kindly reminded him that she cannot legally keep me from going to the appointment or even say anything at all, however according to the family medical leave act, I can ask for time to go to the doctor’s appointment with our lady plus as long as I have given him notice in advance, she has to comply. Even if I do not have getaway or paid time, I can still go to the doctor’s office appointment.
