If an eligible employee has a parent with a life threatening illness does it matter that the parent does not live inside the United States.

If an eligible employee’s parent is suffering from a life threatening illness does the employee qualify if that parent resides outside of the United States?

What if employe was realease to work with restrictions but no restricted jobs at work and the 12 weeks are up is there job still scure?

No. FML is a total of 12 weeks in a consecutive year 12 mos ( not calendar year). So if the employee took 8 weeks of leave already, she is entitled to only 4 more weeks.

I had to be out of work due to back problems and processed all the needed FMLA paperwork and was approved, however my question is although my employer approved the FMLA, I was out for 6 weeks and received the vacation pay, but am I still able to take my vacation in the spring that I have already paid for in September 2010? I can deal being without the vacation pay but it is the time I am worried about.

I’m a teacher taking six weeks paid leave (my sick days), plus an additional 6 under FMLA for pregnancy. I always have a second job and plan to maintain a second job during the time of my leave. Am I in violation of any regulations???

If an ineligible pregnant employee is placed on bed rest and then has the baby a month early, and has been on leave for eight weeks when she becomes FMLA eligble, is the employer required to give her another 12 weeks of leave?

I think FMLA is good for a year but my employer wants the form re-done by the Doctor every 6 months. Is this against the law?
