He said, what? From Jeff Nowak at FMLA Insights:
Over the course of 27 years working for the Sheriff, Sal developed a number of health conditions, including work-related post-traumatic stress disorder. Sal took quite a bit of FMLA leave over time, and as of September 2016, he already had used more than two-thirds of the 12 weeks he was allotted for FMLA. So, when he lined up to take FMLA leave yet again, the benefits manager overseeing FMLA benefits allegedly told Sal this time around:
'You’ve taken serious amounts of FMLA . . . don’t take any more FMLA. If you do so, you will be disciplined.'
Ouch.
As the story goes, Sal retired days later, and he did what former employees are oft inclined to do — he sued his former employer.
