Fmla

I work for the State of California and will be using my vacation time to care for my husband during his serious illness. I may also have time donated to me when I exhaust my own credits. Can my employer force me to use my 12 weeks FMLA at the same time I am using my leave credits?

Fmla

Three days after reporting off work due to back pain, my employer sent a certified letter containing application and medical certification forms for FMLA. I called HR and was told I MUST file for FMLA even if I return to work in a few days. If I refuse to fill out the forms, the company Medical Officer will decide if my time off qualifies as FMLA. My question: Can my employer force me to apply for FMLA ?

FMLA denial/HR called my doctor

Is it legal for someone from HR and my supervisor to contact my doctor to find out if I forged the FMLA paperwork? I'm furious (and humiliated) with my company for calling to ask such a rediculous question especially when I have never given them any reason to question my honesty. When my doctor advised me they had called to ask this, I was mortified. She said she has never had a company do this and told me I should find a new job, that the people I work for are idiots.

FMLA certifcations

Pregnancy at work

I have given my employer three notices from my doctor requiring that I be placed on light duty. My employers response has been that they do not have any light duty available at this time, and that they are too short handed to give me any help and that if I have to work all day at a slower pace to get my job done then thats what I will have to do to keep my job. Some days more often than not I am lifting 80 pounds or more over and over for longer than 9 hours a day putting me and my unborn child at risk for complications. Is my employer allowed to treat me like this, dont they have to peovide me with light duty? Anytime I complain or ask for help they threaten my job. what can I do about this?
