Wow! Are these stories ever amazing. Especially Gina's. It made my blood boil. Penalized for earning $250 too much??????? It sounds unbelievable.
But one thing seems apparent to me. Besides support for people recovering for cancer - there should be "encouragement" for employers to keep on their employees. Maybe in the form of tax breaks or something. Because it is clearly a burden to the bottom line for some companies to keep an ill employee around on a flexible basis.
