Re: Working on FLMA
There is no statutory right to seek part-time employment under the FMLA, which only provides job protection for 12 weeks. If your employer permits 4 years(?) of FMLA leave and you've only taken 18 months, you should formally propose a part-time or consulting arrangement with them. With that type of generous FMLA leave policy, they would probably consider alternative arrangements.
If you need assistance negotiating a severance package as part of a consulting arrangement, you may contact my office via email or through our website SeveranceAttorney.com.
Best of luck!
