Correct me if I am wrong but FMLA is not paid leave. FMLA merely protects a person's employment for serious issues that warrant time away from work. Also, if a person is taking FMLA not for themselves then they have to burn all of their vacation before it can start.

I had an employee milk the system for 2 yrs (union employee) and then had a liver transplant. When he returned he worked for another 20 yrs and was one of the best employees we had including working OT burden.

This is correct. They’re not paid and have to burn all their PTO first if I recall correctly. I had a great employee go out on FMLA due to mental health. She came back and was great.

Our company's policy indicates, with a physician's certification, the physician-recommended timeline (max 12 weeks) of leave is paid. Same with the ADA leave.

Oh, how terrible that this obviously disingenuous goldbricker took advantage of the system by obviously exaggerating his medical condition! And those evil pesky commie unions helped him do it!

Uh…….yeah….

I guess he was committed to the ruse.
