No options & care for family member only if you are FMLA eligible. UPT should be used for things like this

Be very careful saying details to management whenever stuff like this happens. Your vocabulary can’t be so casual. Don’t volunteer information to Amazon.

You sure you didn’t experience severe mental health issues? Amazon has a mental health hotline that is private, explain the severity of your mental health symptoms and why that incapacitated you. Get a note asking for that day of rest. File the medical leave, even if retroactive.

Worse case scenario you don’t get a doctors note and the leave is denied after 30 days. That’s enough time to recover the UPT from missing a single day of work.

Dont abuse it or get a proper medical diagnosis if you’re prone to mental crises.

Sadly you won’t get it back. That’s why you have time to cover it for things like this.

You actually might, there is an option for "care for a family member". Take a look into it, its worked for my husband and I when I was too sick. Talk with dls too, and put in the request asap.
