CA FMLA and WC

Catalina

I have an employee on a WC leave. Do I have to comply with FMLA? and do both run concurrently?

Question?

Why would you not want to comply with FMLA? If you don't the employee could be released to return from the WC injury/illness then turn right around and be out for a non-WC related illness injury, then the employee has up to 12 weeks of protected leave.

In my current job we do run the concurrently all the time, no exceptions.

Thank you for your response. I have done that in the past, I just wanted to know if there was anything new since its has been a long time I have attended a seminar. Thnks again.
