  • Okay, yes, that is the basic advice. If anyone has used a video, I'd appreciate a recommendation.
  • First, do you always give that kind of notice even before FML ends? Have you had contact from the employee updating you on a change in the anticipated return to work date? We send out a letter after FML is exhausted if the employee has not indica…
  • Thanks for all the responses. I must say we were tempted to require the form with the feeling that we would "open the floodgates" otherwise, but I, too, could not interpret that "requisite information from the employee" any other way than to say we…
  • I consider her to still be on intermittent FML because she is only released to work 32 hours a week (her position is full time) for the next three months. For the record, we did give her a memo indicating that her supervisor and manager observed si…

  • The doctor's information on Employee No. 2 just came back, saying he can do his job with no night shifts, no 7 day workweeks, and then the following notation: "(Employee's)disorder can be severe risking damage to himself and work environment, if no…
  • Thanks for the comments from all. We are, of course, seeking medical documentation to back up these requests. We are trying to at least consider the accommodation requests; both of these employees are productive and talented when able to perform. …
  • If you are private sector, why not just say that your company observes the following "federal holidays": 3rd Thursday in November; December 25, January 1, July 4, etc.? To those you could add a handful of "personal days" to be taken at an employee…
