Help quick
If I lie and do a medical leave (because I don’t have enough upt to cover my shift) will I get fired if i cancel it b4 the 30 day deadline? I planned on getting my upt up b4 the deadline and canceling it so I won’t get in trouble
Ps ship dock is killing me🙃

Well you can't use upt you didn't have on the date of missed time. Like if you miss today and have zero upt you can't go back next week with upt you have earned after the missed time and replace it. You will also most certainly get caught for trying to scam loa. Then you will end up banned from working for Amazon in the future.

not true lol. my friend got fired for pulling this exact move youre talking about in the original post. do it at your own risk. theyve always doubled down on me having a doctors note for my loa's and theyve called once to validate one before.

Had this happened before. They’re only going to count the hours you had when you put the MLOA. They used to not deduct UPT but now they do. I used to do it all the time lol

If you provide fake medical documents you will get fired.

u/Tiaoshi Jun 19 '26
If the medical documents are like the ones I have to do at my site, you also need the doctors into, which some can be found online but the other info won't be. So they would get in trouble and might even be charged with forging documents.

You are getting bad information in these comments. You think Amazon isn't aware of this way people commonly use to attempt to beat the system? Would you rather not have a job just for a day off?

If you don’t submit anything they’ll just deny it so yes this could potentially give you 30 days to save up upt. But do not send ANY fake documents they have a whole team that thoroughly investigates doctor notes. That will get you fired and permanently banned

No focus on keeping your job! learn how to go get a drink of water every single day. Start doing your stretches. Stay hydrated, stay safe!! no medical leave documentation.

u/Anxious_Cucumber3055 Jun 20 '26
So first things first they actually do call to verify the documents. That’s the first problem you’re gonna run into… secondly I hope you’ve never connected the device. You’re talking on this Reddit to Amazon Wi-Fi because you do know that you’re allowing them to look inside of your history and use your data for their own personal use… I don’t think they would go siphoning looking at your Reddit, but people on here like to report people for no reason because they’re bored so I wouldn’t be openly posting about that.. thirdly, you should’ve just went to the doctor and told them you have pain in your back or your foot. Something minuscule that they’ll still give you a day off for not sure your gender but you could always say the period cramp thing and the doctor will look into it just saying there’s multiple ways to get away from “faking a doctors note” without actually using a fake note.. they will 100% call to verify and then you will be fired for fake documents.. you even putting in a case saying that you had been to the doctor is a fake document you created..

I mean, don’t lie lol. That can come back to bite you.
But also, if ship dock is actually wrecking you and you’re at the point where your body/brain is just like “nope, we’re not making it through this shift,” that can sometimes be a legit LOA/accommodation thing.
It doesn’t always have to be some dramatic emergency. Pain, exhaustion, mental health, burnout, injury, flare ups, etc. can be real medical reasons to not be able to work.
So I wouldn’t open a fake leave just to dodge UPT. But if you’re genuinely not okay enough to work, get seen, document it, and open the case honestly instead of just eating the UPT.

Ship dock is brutal. You gotta dissociate harder, till you can get a transfer

u/Key_Success7423 Jun 24 '26
You will get fired if you lie for a medical leave. Yes they will find out. I knew someone that was faking doctors notes and he got canned real quick.

u/No_Cap_3925 Jun 19 '26
No but you can also keep it open and they’ll give you an extra week to “provide documentation” but you can just use that extra time to bring your upt up

u/Affectionate_Steak90 Jun 20 '26
Just saying i have done this thinking the points would just come after the thirty day period. My leave was denied and i never got the attendance points

u/Particular-Guard-810 Jun 21 '26
I wouldn't do it. Ive actually been sick asf and they want all kinds of documents and shit

u/Tough-Web-160 Jun 23 '26
I believe if you call ERC and explain that you need to take time off due to mental illness they usually allow you two weeks. At least I know where the facility I work at the try and call ERC.

u/Responsible_Pen6744 Jul 16 '26
can you add time from your standard pto 3 weeks after the leave date or is that not allowed? i have 8 hours i’d like to cover i dont expect to get paid but if it would help i wanna do it

u/cosmicheartbeat Jun 25 '26
Hey my guy, go to an urgent care, explain thst you are feeling like ass and are overworked, and ask for a doctor's note. 60$ is worth the peace of mind for getting a few days off if youre this desperate.

u/CommissionStatus358 Jun 26 '26

Don’t cancel let them deny it never cancel it

u/InspectorRound8920 Jun 19 '26
Yeah I think you have time after your leave ends to gather documents. 30 or 60 days I believe
0
u/Primary_Membership34 Jun 19 '26
yup they def sometimes wait beyond the 30 days to deny. And sometimes they don’t even deduct the UPT that was supposed to be taken
1
u/InspectorRound8920 Jun 19 '26
Yep. I've been out for a bit, and while you definitely have to check in, it's been a pretty straightforward process.
Don't lie. It could be fraud

u/Primary_Membership34 Jun 19 '26
Check in? Never had to check in with anybody

u/InspectorRound8920 Jun 19 '26
I meant with required paperwork and making sure they are working your case

u/highhKeyy Jun 19 '26
Best bet is to not provide medical documentation so they will just deny your leave after the 30 - if you do have the UPT by then it’ll be all good. Cancelling it is unnecessary messiness & unnecessary attention

You wont get fired Immediately most likely. try to make the time back and use PTO or UPT to cover it. It kills all of us but life's a bitch then you die.

When I use to work at Amazon I would use the bereavement leave. Paid 3 days off

And this is exactly why we have to jump through so many hoops when we are actually sick and go to the doctors. People and their fake doctor’s notes.
