Legal Question in Medical Leave in Michigan
Intermitten fmla
I was on intermitten FMLA because
of my wife (surgery and mental issues) and my newborn baby. My
fmla papers says I have one year
of this status. My employer is now
saying that instead of her asking every 30 Days of the status of leave
she just gives us 6 months and she
then cancels the fmla of the employee.. I assumed that you have one year of this status. I was
never given any notification of the
changes she was making. I have 256 leave credits availabel. I wasn't
told to recertify for fmla by personnel at all. I used fmla status
to tend to my wife for 2 days and I
received lost time from my employer. When my employer told me I had received lost time was when personnel told me of the changes that had taken place. I
was blindsided. I'm a State of Mich. eemployee. What are my options??

Re: Intermitten fmla
This needs clarification with the personnel department.
Get all the documentation of the state FMLA-related policy, read it, then sit down with someone BEFORE your time runs out and figure out exactly what their position is and where you stand. If you need an intermediary, ask about an FMLA ombudsperson, who might be able to intercede and clear things up BEFORE it becomes a firing/penalty situation.
