Periodic Leave

bethk

One of our managers took off approx. 2 weeks for problems stemming from a broken foot. She has been working part time since July and we are paying her just for the hours worked even tho she is salary. She is also receiving part time disability pay.

She has asked me to send her more forms so it looks like she will be requesting more full time leave. My question: Can I count the hours that she isn't working towards her 480 hours? If I do this, she is past her limit by about 100 hours. As an example: If she worked 5 hours one day I count 3 hours towards her 480/hr limit. Am I figuring this right?

Thanks for your help,

Beth

Any amount of time she misses should be counted toward her total FMLA allotment but you have to notify her in writing of this fact. Have you done so? There have been numerous threads regarding the retroactive designation of FMLA leave and it sounds as if this would apply.

No, I haven't notified her by letter. I will do that.

I tried to do a search but didn't come up with an answer. I'll try again.

Thanks much.

Don't start counting until the date you notify her. You can't retroactively count time as FMLA.
