Lol that's like the only time you can't fire someone in the US, is after unpaid FMLA sick leave.
Or in retaliation for reporting sexual harassment, or for whistleblowing to OSHA¹, or for getting pregnant, ...
¹ Or to the SEC, IRS, EPA, NRC, etc.; but not "whistleblowing" on your blog.
Don't forget for trying to form a union too!
Yep.
FMLA doesn't just protect the time off, but the arrival back to work. You do need the physician to document that there will be restrictions on job functions. This can be done retroactively as I learned.
Reddit fucked that up badly
My work has a client who has an employee that can't be fired because he is disabled and on permanent intermittent FMLA. Dude has so much porn on his work computer and nobody can do anything about it.
