re: Business owners or HR managers: question regarding FMLA/ADA

Why are you offering 6+ months (or any extra) of paid leave? Fmla for example of a pregnant lady, she has 2 weeks of paid leave but wants 2 months off. You have to give her X amount of time off and her job back, but that doesn’t mean you have to pay her.

Also, I’m fairly certain you have to offer her a job. It doesn’t have to be the same job. This may depend on company size. But a small business for example couldn’t be left without say their only accountant for 6 months and then have the 2nd accountant come back and expect it to then have 2 accountants.

You just can’t fire someone for needing FMLA.

Beyond that, a lot of it is HR bullshite
