OK to fire if employee doesn’t call to explain why he missed expected FMLA return date

01/14/2015

Employees are supposed to notify their employers about their need for FMLA leave as soon as is practical. When they are already out on leave with a set return date, the same rule applies if the employee will need more time off. He or she can’t just extend the leave without telling anyone and expect to keep the job.
