Dual FMLA

Rockie · July 2005

Here's a brain teaser!

Employee out on FMLA for pregnancy/bonding. She had planned on being out the entire 12 weeks (of course!). While out on FMLA, hospitalized for illness (unrelated to childbirth).

I am assuming all this will lump together in the 12 weeks allowed.

This is a first for me on this type of thing!

You are right, they get 12 weeks total.

A man who is in the final stage of adopting a child, falls ill suddenly and is hospitalized and bedridden for three weeks, following which his wife slips and falls picking up beer cans in the back yard and he has to attend to her daily needs for a week, after which his mother is diagnosed with inoperative cancer and he is needed to transport her regularly for chemo, only to learn that his teenaged son is incarcerated for pimping and is required to undergo family counseling by the judge twice a week for eleven weeks, right in the middle of which his hemorroids begin to act up violently, requiring surgical removal and the therapy and bedrest that follows and he decides this will be the perfect time to enroll in alcohol rehabilitation for 31 days. This poor dude only has 12 weeks of FMLA in a 12 month period.

The only thing I don't understand is why in the world he would want to stop drinking.

You forgot about the surgery he has postponed for forty years to address his undescended testicles as well as his worsening case of phimosis and subsequent need to have an adult circumcision performed.

Gee Don - could this "poor dude" have any more problems, or are we talking from experience here?

LivindonSouth · July 2005

No, that cannot be me. I pick up the beer cans in my back yard.

Don, you missed your calling. I seeing writing a trashy novel or scripts for a soap opera in your future.
