Re: Family Medical Leave Designation

Normal medical leave is not the same as FMLA. If you actually qualify for FMLA, then you should advise and request to employer provide it. If they are aware that you would qualify for it, then they are supposed to advise you of availability.

IF you are qualified for FMLA, contact me to discuss your options now.
