Legal Question in Medical Leave in Louisiana
My husband and I work for two different state agencies. He has had major surgery and we are both out on FMLA leave. I was told that we would have to share the 240 hours allowed by law because we were both state employees.

Dear LawGuru Friend,
Of course, a specialist in Labor Law
should know the answer without having
to look at a book; but there are few such
specialists who will just up and give you
the answer without charging you an arm
and a leg. Nevertheless, together let's
read the FMLA and the Federal Regulations
and find the answer. If you will, e-mail me
your phone number and the town you are in,
and I will get with you and discuss this matter
with you further. I have access to one of the
best Federal law libraries around, and it will
be a pleasure for me to get back in the Federal
law books, since I have been retired a couple
of years. Nevertheless, I still love the law, legal
research and writing and my lifetime calling of
helping people.
Looking forward to hearing back from you,
I am
Sincerely,
