The FMLA does not provide for work accommodations other than time off in full blocks or intermittent leave. The ADA, on the other hand, could be the avenue for a work-from-home arrangement if the employee has a disability and needs a reasonable accommodation that would be working from home. These are highly technical and complicated legal issue best left to a professional. You would be best served by contacting a qualified FMLA/ADA attorney.
