Want this question answered?
I was injured on the job but did not miss work. Must I file for FMLA?
If you are receiving FMLA benefits, you are still employed. Unemployment is for people that are not employed, therefore you would not be eligible for benefits. You would have to wait until your FMLA and any other possible leave is exhausted before applying for unemployment. However, if you are still not able to work after your benefits are exhausted or caring for someone and not available to work, then you could be denied based on those factors. Correct. FMLA leaev is only for those still emepeloyed, but totally incapacitated from working by their med condition or the relative's condition. Folks totally incapacitated from working can never get unemployment benefits.
Short term disability will continue to pay benefits as long as you remain disabled - up to the benefit period limit. FMLA is a separate program that provides job protection for 12 weeks. The two are unrelated.
Possibly. While the FMLA only gives you time off work and it does not entitle you to wages, you dp have the right to request that you receive any vacation pay or sick leave pay if you have any accrued.
Right. You are not eligible for FMLA until you have BOTH worked one full year AND worked 1250 hours in the 12 months preceding the first day you want FMLA leave.
as long as you have your fmla papers sign from your dr which it should indicate how long he or she is holding you from going back to work, you should be fine, keep in mind you have to make sure your job also have copy of your dr's note and papers at the same time your out. If FMLA has expired your job will not be protected completely, it will be job as available. In other words it does not have to be a equal pay or position.
If you have already took days off but not all the time you can still take time off. I would check in with the boss first.
FMLA runs concurrent with the first missed day of work due to the on-the-job injury. If you meet the FMLA requirements, your job must be held for at least twelve weeks.
Have a qualifying illness with an FMLA.... Family Medical Leave Act.... Documentation from your physician
yes they can and will probably fire you.
No. Well, yes, he can fire you, but he is likely violating federal law if he does. Especially considering the Workers Comp issue.
what are an employees rights when returning to work after fmla and full time position is nolonger available, but lower paying part time position is in a different department?
