Our Workers Compensation provider told us that FMLA does not apply to Workers Compensation cases In Pennsylvania. Does anyone know anything about this? Thanks in advance!

    [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 07-26-04 AT 02:14PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Your comp carrier is not an HR professional. Plus he's/she's wrong. It's not a matter of 'applying' to comp. It's a matter of your being able to run the two concurrently to keep the employee from 'stacking leaves'. Be vigilant and always view with suspicion ANYTHING these often transient comp form-processors tell you. Good for you for catching it.


    (edit) Unless there is some obscure law in PA that says an employer cannot run such programs concurrently. I defer to PA folks.

    We are in PA and I have never heard of such a law. The seminars I have been to always encouraged running WC and FMLA concurrently to prevent leave stacking, as Don explained.
