Yes, you would need some proof under the Family Medical Leave Act.
LASIK eye surgery is typically not covered under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) since FMLA provides job protection for employees taking leave for serious health conditions, family caregiving, or certain situations, rather than for elective procedures. However, if complications arise from the surgery that necessitate time off, that leave may be eligible for FMLA protection. It's essential to check with your employer and review specific policies regarding leave for medical procedures.
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.

Disability leave can count against your Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) entitlement if the leave is taken for a qualifying medical condition that falls under FMLA regulations. If the disability leave is covered by FMLA, it would reduce your available FMLA leave hours. However, if the disability leave is provided under a different policy or program that does not qualify under FMLA, it may not count against your FMLA entitlement. Always check with your employer’s policy and your specific situation for clarity.

Yes, narcolepsy can be covered under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) if it qualifies as a serious health condition. This means that if narcolepsy substantially limits one or more major life activities, an employee may be eligible for leave to manage their condition. It's important for the employee to provide appropriate medical documentation to support their request for FMLA leave.
Yes, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) can be covered under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) if it qualifies as a serious health condition that requires leave for medical treatment or incapacity. Employees may be eligible for FMLA leave to address their IBS symptoms and seek medical care without risking their job security.
Yes, an employer can deny an employee's FMLA request for non-elective surgery if the employee does not meet the eligibility criteria set by the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), such as having worked for the employer for at least 12 months and having at least 1,250 hours of service in the past year. Additionally, the employer may deny the request if the surgery does not qualify as a serious health condition under FMLA regulations. However, if the surgery meets the criteria and the employee is eligible, the employer must grant the leave.
