I may be physically unable to return work within the 12 week time limit and may have to extend my absence by several weeks while I finish physical therapy. Will my employer be required to honor my request, or could this be grounds for termination.

Thanks,

Can FMLA be extended?

Yes, the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) can be extended in certain circumstances. If an employee's serious health condition requires more time than the initial 12 weeks, they may be eligible for additional leave under other laws, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or state-specific leave laws. Additionally, employees can request a leave extension if they have not exhausted their FMLA entitlement and meet the eligibility criteria. It's essential for employees to communicate with their employers about any need for extended leave.

Does Family Medical Leave and Pregnancy Disability Act run concurrently?

It appears you are asking about the California Family Medical Leave and the California Pregnancy Disability Leave Acts. You are entitled under the pregnancy disability leave act to up to 4 months of unpaid, job protected leave for a disability due to pregnancy complications, and to recover from your delivery. Once you have recovered the family medical leave act permits you an additional 12 weeks of unpaid leave to bond with your baby. They do not run concurrently under these scenarios.
