Here’s a puzzle for you. How would you handle it?
Mary Beth is a nurse for a local hospital and has been diagnosed with cancer and asthma. Over the course of about one year:
1. She is certified for FMLA leave for her cancer and asthma;
2. She incurs a total of 13 intermittent absences
As employers, we face a sobering reality: at every turn, the FMLA sets us up to fail.
Whether it’s deciphering medical certification, assessing fitness for duty upon return to work, or dealing with the always frustrating intermittent leave, the FMLA is full of booby traps ready to nail us the instant we slip up.
