Thorny Issues for Employers Under the ADA and FMLA

 

Poor performance does not impact an employee’s right to take FMLA leave.

Sometimes an employee does not know counseling is coming, but the timing of a leave request is unfortunate. And sometimes a diagnosis appears to be in response to discipline or a bad performance evaluation. Leave requests also may appear to be excuses to avoid the bad or hard parts of the job, particularly where they have a suspicious pattern. This video reviews what an employer should do if an employee first requests leave or an accommodation in response to counseling; as well as provides examples of hypothetical situations to help know what to do if faced with a similar situation.
