QUESTIONSQuestions

How do you determine intermittent leave?

6

Can you clarify requiring employees to take

accrued vacation as part of FMLA leave?

7

What if an employee has a new born child

and wants to take off Friday as FMLA until

all 60 days are used?

8

What documentation do we need to keep for

FMLA, and how do we need to keep it?

9

In regards to bonuses, can they be prorated

when an employee goes on FMLA and does

PTO accrue when on FMLA?

10

We have had an employee who was out for

cancer and had gotten harsh chemo

treatments and was unable to come back to

work because of the cancer. The doctor

didn’t give him a lot of time to live, but he

didn’t bring a note from the doctor. Does

this change his FMLA?

11

Does vacation accrual stop during the 12

weeks of FMLA?

12

If we designate FMLA and Workers comp to

run concurrently and the WC exceeds 12

weeks, can/should we initiate COBRA?

13

If we allow an employee to take FMLA leave

prior to meeting the 12 months and/or 1240

hour requirement, have we created a new

eligibility period and have to allow other

similarly situated employees FMLA

protection at the same time?
