I am on FMLA right now from having surgery. Does my work have the right to insist on more info other than what my doctor has written? They are wanting what I think is personal info and none of there buisness. I was told if I didnt provide this I would in a round about way, lose my job.

Per http://fmlaonline.com/fmla-pregnancy/

1. What is the Family and Medical Leave Act?
“The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) requires larger employers to provide up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave to employees who either have a serious health condition themselves, or must care for a seriously ill family member.”

I would say that it does qualify. But I would ask her Dr. or A Dr. to be sure.

My niece was denied a day off to take her mother 3 hours away for a surgery! Does this qualify as FMLA?

My daughter is out of work after surgery – covered by FMLA – her manager has suddenly decided to make her job part-time even though she was hired as a full time employee with other responsibilities to relieve switch board, etc. Now she has moved part of those duties to other employees who have been with the company less than six months, my daughter has worked for this particular (Very large health care system which includes several hospitals as well as the health care facility where she works which includes several doctors), off and on for 10 years. What can she do???
