How would you handle????????

EE's FMLA certification is to take care of mom with chronic conditions. It gives diagnosis of condition and states "yes!" in 8.a. "If leave is required to care for family member...does patient require assistance....".

She brought in a doctor's note from the ER that states she was in the ER with mom Sunday night from 11:30 pm to 12:15 am. She called off the following Monday for the entire shift (12 hrs.) She worked today. When she gave the admin coordinator the note she did not give any details.

What would you do? Would her absence qualify? She is due a verbal warning if the absence is not covered.

BTW, is everyone on vacation? The forum has been quite BORING recently. It's time to get Alum boy back.

I would designate Monday as FMLA because she has documentation of the hospital emercency room the night before. I think she gave you enough information to count the day as FMLA. It's one more day off the calendar.

Some of the usual pot stirrers seem to be laying low, maybe they're just tired! They have had a few very intense threads lately.

I agree with BSA count it towards FMLA.

As for the Forum I agree it has been very quiet...sssshhhhhh xI-)

In the interest of benevolence, I would grant it. She obviously had to care for the person way beyond the parameters of the moments when they were in the ER. And she obviously needed sleep following that. I've told you before SMace, you need to bury aluminumboy. We all know your alter-ego.

I agree. I'm just being a hard axx. Just wanted some extra perception. Thanks for the feedback.

Don, I told you before he and me ain't we.

Hatchetman

I agree with Don's caring and reasonable approach.

I'd love to know what ER can get you in and out in 45 minutes! Usually that's just enough time to fill out the paperwork.

I, too, would charge the day to FMLA. Seems to me she is struggling as it is.

Alumboy is a figment of Mace's imagination.

I like the rest would count it as FMLA.

Are you a middle child smace? Cause thats what middle children reportedly do - STIR THE POT!!! x}>

I'm actually the baby of the family. My brother (Alum boy) is the middle child. :~~

You always have to keep 'em guessing.
