I agree with Lori Snyder’s comment – I would LOVE to see some information from the other side. When an employee neglects to “ask for” FMLA and it isn’t brought to HR’s attention until a return to work note is received or when they don’t want to use it, for whatever reason. Maybe some information on designating retroactively – there’s not much out there on that. Thanks!

I agree, I’d like to see more information or court cases that speak to the FMLA/ADA overlap. I seem to be having more and more of these.

Thanks for the article information, it was informative and reinforcing.

This is a good article as far as it goes. But just once, I’d like to see some stuff written from the opposite viewpoint….I mean, rather than having employees who try to take FMLA leave when they shouldn’t; I have employees (& managers) who don’t want to use it. They don’t want to burn their paid time, & longstanding attendance policies that treat an absence of whatever length as “one incident” don’t help. Need printed references from the viewpoint of the employee does not have the choice of FMLA.
