Re: FMLA Elgibility
It sounds like you are very familiar with your rights under the FMLA. One thing I can add to your existing knowledge is that: (1) if your 5-days absence was consecutive, and/or (2) if the 5 days were intermittent but your asthma qualifies as a chronic condition; then you are likely protected under the FMLA. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.

THe 12 months do not need to be consecutive to qualify for FMLA leave. You can obtain more information at www.dol.gov. If you have other questions, please feel free to contact me.
