Employer's Poorly Drafted FMLA Policy Allows Employee to Advance FMLA Claim (That Should Have Never Seen the Light of Day)
FMLA Insights Link to more items from this source
Jan. 28, 2015
"[The employer (the Road Commission)] maintained an FMLA policy in which 'eligibility' to take FMLA leave was satisfied if [an employee] met the first two criteria [allowed by the FMLA statute] (12 months and 1,250 hours). The Road Commission's FMLA policy made absolutely no reference to the requirement that [an employee would be eligible only if he works at a location where the employer employs at least] 50 employees [who] work within 75 miles.... Because the Road Commission left out the third prong of what the court considered an 'unambiguous and unqualified' FMLA eligibility provision, a 'reasonable person in [Terry's] position could fairly have believed that he was protected by the FMLA.' "
