In this edition of our podcast, we discuss attempts to use the FMLA to obtain leave for travel and recreational purposes. We tackle questions including:

• Is visiting a faith healer considered medical treatment under the FMLA?
• Is an employee entitled to FMLA leave for a vacation with a seriously ill spouse?
• What issues should an employer consider when responding to a request for FMLA leave for travel or recreational activity prescribed as treatment for a serious health condition?
