When is intermittent leave allowed under FMLA and Ada?
Under FMLA, an eligible employee is entitled to no more than 12 weeks of intermittent leave or leave for a block over a 12-month period. However, under ADA, it may extend beyond 12 weeks. The number of ADA leaves depends a lot on the prevailing circumstances and facts, can differ from one to another and even become more than 12 weeks.
What happens when FMLA runs out?
Many employees have to try and figure out what happens when their FMLA leave runs out. If you are out on FMLA leave due to paternity or maternity care, then generally speaking, the 12 weeks of unpaid leave is all you get. Some employers may offer paid leave and some employers may offer longer than 12 months.
Is shift change after FMLA retaliation?
The problem, of course, is that your shift could be changed after you return so this is more a question of timing than legality. The CFRA requires a return to the same or equivalent job in terms of duties, pay and benefits. It may not be retaliation, so much as a possible violation of the statutes and regulations.
Is FMLA paid time off?
Generally, FMLA leave is assumed to be unpaid time off. The law, though, does allow for an employee to use “accrued paid leave” concurrently with FMLA so that a worker is protected by the law and still earns pay, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
