Legal Question in Medical Leave in California

Taking care of ill Grandparent

I need to take care of my Grandma who is ill, probably for 2-4 weeks. I have worked at a clinic for almost 5 years and am vested. I just recently passed my state boards as an RN. My mgr. stated that if i am off for more than 2 weeks, I will lose my vesting and will come back to the company similar to a new hire, losing vesting etc. Is this legal and under the FMLA guidlines? Please advise, thanks.

Sadly, Grandparents are not included as persons who you may care for and get job protection under the FMLA.
