FMLA stands for the Family Medical Leave Act. This act secures your employment for a specific amount of time for medical reasons. Research this act and ask your employer to see if an elective surgery would qualify.

Are you required to pay for health insurance while on short term disability?
That depends upon whether you are covered under FMLA, and the percentage of premium paid by your employer. If you are covered under FMLA, then your employer is required to continue coverage on the same basis as before your leave. For example if your employer was paying half the premium and you were paying half the premium, this arrangement would continue while you are on leave. You would be responsible for continuing these payments. If your employer pays 100% of the premium you would have no payments to make. If you are not covered under FMLA your employer is free to ask you to pay 100% of the premium.
When an employee is out on workmens compensation does it count against their FMLA too?
It is my understanding that these are two entirely separate programs, designed for different circumstances and differing conditions. Just as a leave of absence under the FMLA provisions do not in any way interfere with those circumstances adjusted and covered by workman's compensation, the workman's compensation program and provisions do not in any way coincide with or tend to alter the guarantees or terms under FMLA. Those things covered under the Family Medical Leave Act are governed solely by that set of rules. Those things covered under Workman's Compensation are regulated by the rules governing that program. The two are entirely separate...
Is it legal for employer to cancel health insurance while you are on bed rest Employer was paying for full health insurance?
Were you under doctor ordered bedrest? Was your employed notified and if so- was FMLA involved? If you were covered under FMLA your employer CANNOT cancel your health benefits. I would need to know how about the situation to give you a better answer. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. Evan Yes I was under doctors orders. I gave my employer a note from my doctor that I was going to have back surgery and be off for 2 months. I am not sure if I am covered under the FMLA act our company only has 20 or less employees. 11 days after I started my medical leave (which was the end of the month) my employer stopped my medical insurance without informing me. I found out later when I went to use my insurance. Frank
