So you have a doctors note for a medical emergency? Just so you know, that leave would be protected under MGL 175M. One of the really cool things about the PFML law is that it expands FMLA protections to all MA employers - it’s not just a cash benefit.

“Medical leave shall be available to any covered individual with a serious health condition that makes the covered individual unable to perform the functions of the covered individual's position.”

And also pfml has an approval process - it's not the same as sick time or workers comp
