Can an employer terminate an at will employee for exercising medical leave?
Yes an employer can terminate an employee if the employee is abusing medical leave. However, if the employee is using FMLA, then they are likely protected.
When an employee goes on Family Medical Leave is there a waiting period in order for the employee to receive a paycheck?
An employee on FMLA leave is EMPLOYED and on the payroll. The leave may ne paid or unpaid, as the employee wishes, and paychecks come as often as other payroll employees.
If an employee is on approved FMLA and retires does the FMLA continue or do they fall under COBRA?
An employer is required by federal law to provide FMLA benefits - 12 weeks of unpaid leave per year - to employees. If you have terminated your employment by retiring, you are no longer an employee, and you would continue your health insurance through COBRA.
Can employee force management to take him back after leave of absence?
This would depend. Under the Family Medical Leave Act, , an eligible employee who availed of leaves under the FMLA, has the right to return to the same or equivalent position, pay, and benefits upon the conclusion of their leave. This means that the employer is mandated to restore his employee to his job after his leave. However, if the employee took a leave of absence not allowed under the FMLA or other state laws, or is not eligible for such job-protected leave, the management has no legal obligation to take him back.
Can you lay off an employee who is on medical leave?
It is not prohibited by any law. When an employee is the next one by seniority or tenure to be separated, out he/she goes. Folks on vacation, sick leave, even FMLA can be laid-off.
Can an employer disapprove fmla?

When does Family Medical Leave act need to be turned in?

While on fmla can an employee backup and receive money for the days he or she missed because of sickness?
Do not understand what the phrase "backup" is referring to. However - FMLA guarantees that you will be able to collect the pay you may have coming to you (via accrued vacation/comp time/sick leave), and guarantees your position, for the length of the FMLA absence.
Can your employer charge back insurance after maternity leave if you decide not to return to work?
In general, if the insurance was in force at the time of the pregnancy, the coverage will apply according to its terms. If the employee qualifies for the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) benefits, and decides not to return to work, the employee and the employee are generally allowed to agree to terms by which the employee can reimburse the employee for the cost of insurance that remains in force during the FMLA coverage period.
Can an employee be out on Federal Medical Leave Act with one company and go to work for another company?
To qualify for FMLA leave, you must be INCAPACITATED, not just feeling puny. You must be incapacitated from attending school, going to work, or caring for yourself. If I, the employer, find that you are capable of working for someone, I withdraw your FMLA grant.
Who is the current committee of the FMLA?
There is no "committee." The FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act) is a public law.
