Yes it can.
The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) cannot be post-dated or retroactively applied to suit an individual's needs. FMLA leave must be taken in accordance with the regulations, and employers are required to provide notice and maintain accurate records of leave taken. If an employee does not give proper notice or fails to follow the required procedures, their leave may not be protected under FMLA. It's essential to communicate with the employer and adhere to the established guidelines when requesting FMLA leave.
In the U.S. there is a law that is called the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). If your employer did not follow the law in your instance of family 'emergency' you could have action taken against them.
The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) itself does not specifically cover diagnostic tests. However, if a diagnostic test is part of a serious health condition that qualifies an employee for FMLA leave, then the time taken for the test may be protected under FMLA. Employees may use FMLA leave for medical appointments related to a serious health condition, which can include time off for necessary tests. It's important for employees to communicate with their employer about their specific circumstances.
The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is a United States federal law, so it is primarily applicable only in the United States. Other countries have their own family and medical leave laws, but they vary widely in terms of duration and benefits. For instance, countries like Canada, the United Kingdom, and many in Europe have their own regulations regarding parental and medical leave, but these are not the same as FMLA. Therefore, FMLA is specific to the U.S. and does not extend to other countries.

I was injured on the job but did not miss work. Must I file for FMLA?
Employers are required to continue group health insurance coverage for an employee on FMLA leave under the same terms and conditions as if the employee had not taken leave. For example, if family member coverage is provided to an employee, family member coverage must be maintained during the employee’s FMLA leave.
There is no "committee." The FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act) is a public law.
FMLA is federal law and overrules Illinois standard law.
Your employer is not required to pay you for fmla, but is required to hold your position.
You have to be with an employer for 12 months and worked for 12 months or at least 1,250 hours to qualify for FMLA. You also have to have a qualifying reason to claim FMLA.
No one "files for" FMLA with some agency - it is a unilateral grant from the employer. Once the employer has enough info to know whether the employee qualifies or does not qualify for FMLA, the employer MUST issue a letter announcing whether it it granting or denying FMLA. EMployees need not request FMLA to get it, but must comply with employer demands for medical certification.
