Can an employer force an employee to take FMLA?
Long story short. Involves pregnancy, cleared by doctors to continue working, employer places employee on FMLA anyway. Legal?
Thanks.

It's job protected leave, why wouldn't the person want to take it?

More information needed...make short story, longer. What is the job? How familiar are the doctors with the job tasks and the work environment. If the employer believed that the employee and/or fetus are at risk by working, then they are within their rights to prevent the employee from working until after the baby is born.

Possible pregnancy discrimination. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act covers that. Call a lawyer if you're serious.

Were there any restrictions placed on the employee returning to work, and could those restrictions prevent her from doing her job. Also, could be that the company does not want a worker's compensation claim in the event that there is an injury related to the pregnancy.
