Off Site or Telecommuting Employees

KP68

If an employee works off-site or telecommutes and reports to a branch that is eligible for FMLA (but works from home), does he/she qualify for FMLA?

...and is that because she 'reports' to the eligible branch? Just looking for a little more info, I guess.

If the indidivual is "employed" at an eligible branch, he/she is part of the workforce comprising 50 or more. Sales people would be in a similar situation. They work offsite (usually) but are employed by one location.
