Legal Question in Medical Leave in Pennsylvania

I have been employed by the same hospital for 32 yes and this is the first time I took intermittent fmla for my dad who developed acute dementia following a heart attack. My manager told me that she will decide what days I can take off to care for him. I needed to be with him on my weekend to work so I got another part time nurse to cover me, but I was told no that I had to work it . I Idid as I was told, but can I file a grievance?

See http://www.aauw.org/act/laf/library/fmlarights.cfm, particularly the section with regard to enforcement (the othere sections are more general and do not appear to address intermittent leave applications.) I suggest you follow the links and contact the Department of Labor to file a complaint.

This answer to your legal inquiry is based upon the limited facts stated in your question. Accurate legal advice is based upon an exchange between a lawyer and a client. The lawyer can then ask about other facts that may change or confirm the answer. Without that exchange, this reply should be considered limited in value. You should rely on this answer only at your own risk. Direct consultation with a lawyer is always recommended. Answering your question does not create an attorney-client relationship.
