Family Medical Leave Guidelines
I have a coworker whose daughter was murdered she has been taking a day off here and there and putting FMLA on her time sheets, my question is does FMLA have to be taken in a consecutive manner?

Re: Family Medical Leave Guidelines
Intermittent (as opposed to consecutive)leave is allowed for under FMLA, provided that the employee has met the necessary criteria, which would normally include providing the employer with a letter from the employee's physician attesting to the need for such leave.
