If both spouses are employed by the same co. you may limit the leave to a total of 12 weeks combined. However...nothing in the regulation prevents you from giving each 12 weeks.
-
I think by requesting information from her doctor about the number of hours (I'd also want a specific list of tasks that she's permitted to do) you're kind of telling her that she'll be able to work p/t. Whether or not your CEO is happy about follo…
-
I don't think the employer is under any obligation to permit a f/t ee to work p/t for 1-2 weeks...however, if the doctor is not saying that she's ready to come back f/t, unless her 12 weeks have expired...you may be without her for an additional 2 w…

shouldn't approval/denial of FMLA go through HR...most specifically the person in charge of medical documentation? Do the supervisors have access to ee's medical files?? If so, you have a larger problem than this FMLA question.
-
Does your company offer PTO?? If so, eventhough she may not be using FMLA she's still able to make her appts, right? It's actually to her benefit to not start FMLA now. Typically, prenatal visits are once a month, until about the last 6-8 weeks w…

But pregnancy (or the result thereof-Birth) is something that requires recovery and it is an on-going condition. As much as we want to try to pretend that NOTHING is happening between the time the little plus sign appears and the delivery...it's ju…
-
I think the standard is any on-going condition that requires the care of a doctor. Actually, beginning FMLA now shortens the available time she'd have off for delivery...is this why you're looking to cover this under FMLA? If you had another ee w…
-
I would think so since the condition is likely to last more than 3 days and does require being seen by a doctor. Ideally, the appointments would be scheduled to have the least impact on your workday as possible...but I know that is not always feasib…
-
Every individual is entitled to 12 weeks of leave. The only exceptions are if they are a high level ee that doesn't qualify under FMLA...(very few fit this category), if the ee has not been employed long enough to earn FMLA protection, OR if both pa…

I agree with Don that the Act does not require that temp time be counted....but we bring ee's in as temps and if they work out, hire them as full ee's. We do count the temp time for FMLA purposes.
-
does your employer ask this of people on FMLA for other reasons??? Logically, I understand wanting an idea...but I don't know that it's an OK question....besides the answer could be yes....but many things could happen...what if the baby is not 100%…

Did she tell you that she was planning the surgery for this time period? Is it possible that this is the earliest available appointment with the surgeon? Some procedures, although not life-threatening, are still necessary and are scheduled well i…
-
If her doctor certifies her as needing to be off to recover for more than 3 days, it can be considered FMLA. This actually benefits you because it starts tolling the FMLA days that can be taken in any given eligible year. provide her with the pape…

THAT was probably way more information about your ee than you needed!!!! x:o

Don...thank you for the musical interlude!!!!! xclap I guess the point is that allergies can be serious and sometimes uncontrollable. Thankfully, kind researchers developed Zyrtec-D. I can now breathe and sound like the intelligent adult that I re…

When I was a teen I developed HORRIBLE allergies...swollen eyes and sinus problems...I lost a waitressing job because I didn't LOOK like I should be serving food! Not that I could disagree...but sometimes even medication didn't bring them under con…
-
I understand the concerns over the potential for abuse of the FMLA system...but I have to caution all HR professionals from trying to be doctors. A sinus infection may seem minor, but from the information provided, it appears that this employee is…
-
As long as the spouse and ee are not employed by the same company...they are entitled to 12 weeks of certified FMLA leave. Unless the daycare is not really part of the hospital and does not have enough employees to be required to offer FMLA...then s…
-
BUT I imagine that you could use sick leave for a woman that has given birth...generally doctors will not authorize a return to work for 6 weeks, up to 8 if complications occurred. Yes, she is caring for a newborn, but she is also healing herself. …
-
I'd put the burden back upon the physician...if he/she determines that it is required prenatal treatment...then it would be covered. Although, generally hospitals offer these classes with flexible scheduling to accomodate people working all kinds o…
-
Give the guy the paperwork, if the doctor will certify it, you need to lose no sleep. If he doesn't...then you have a few options...do you have a "leave without pay" or leave of absence? He may fit into one of these. I know it's hard to not judge …
-
I have to agree...FMLA was intended as a way to help people balance health/family needs while not being afraid to lose their jobs, while providing the employer with a tangible "end date" so that they could reasonably plan for business needs. I'm su…
-
FMLA regs permit company paid leave to run concurrent with the 12 weeks of leave mandated under the Act. Most find this to be the easiest way to manage FMLA leave for any reason.
-
I would leave it up to the doctor completing the certification form. Numerous reasons could exist for a relative to be at a hospital with a patient....
-
You may want to give the ee the option...perhaps she would like to work the other shift....but if not...then she should be returned to the shift she had before taking FMLA.

PA reversed Common Law marriage this summer so these relationships are no longer "legal" in the state of PA... so the short answer is that you are not required to provide any employment related benefits. We request proof of marriage (court documen…

Typically, sick time is reserved for the period of time that the dr. certifies that an ee is physically unable to return to work...for a regular birth, this amounts to 6 weeks...but it could be more...allow the dr. to certify it and go from there...…
-
Perhaps the spirit of the FMLA Act should be considered in this situation. The desire was to attempt to balance the needs of an individual trying to care for family with the needs of an employer maintaining a working environment. It is designed to p…

Our employees also do not use leave time (of any kind)to interview internally. We view it as a benefit to the Agency when our employees are able to interview for advanced positions. We are keeping the skill and investing in our business and the grow…
