We have an employee whose back was injured on the job. He receives intermittent treatment that is covered by Workers' Comp. There is a possibility that he will have back surgery. He works but is on light duty with no lifting or standing for long periods of time. Would this be a serious health condition, an FMLA event?

    This would be a serious health condition for physician visits and any other times needed off due to the injury. The FMLA time runs concurrently with any time off for workers comp.
