Re: Disciplinary action takin under Fmla
The FMLA typically only permits you to take leave, it does not excuse the failure to perform some function of your position. However, the Americans with Disabilities Act may provide some assistance to you. Under the ADA an employer is required to grant disabled employees a reasonable accommodation. This accommodation can take the form of job restructuring in some circumstances. To learn more about the ADA, you can go to my website at http://www.memphisemploymentlawyer.net/index_files/disabilitydiscrimination.html.
