"[1] Don't let employees work while on continuous FMLA leave.... [2] If you want to restructure the position of an employee on FMLA leave (or soon after they've taken FMLA leave), be very, very careful.... [3] If you offer a 'work hardening' program, give the employee a reasonable chance to 'harden.' ... [4] If a 'problem employee' goes out on FMLA leave, don't view the leave as your opportunity to show them the door.... [5] Never forget that your disability accommodation obligations are in addition to, not instead of, your FMLA obligations.' [Kelley vs. Jewish Voice Ministries Int"l, No. 23-0353 (D. Ariz. Oct. 4, 2024)]  MORE >>
