There are many question from clients regarding FMLA administration.
When an employee requests FMLA leave to care for a family member, who is not obviously a child or parent, an initial reaction by the employer might be to deny that request.

A legal or biological relationship is not required. Failing to recognize the in loco parentis relationship could result in an FMLA interference claim.
