Re: FMLA And The Employer
They have to allow you to take intermittent FMLA leave as long as you meet all the requirements for FMLA. However; when requesting intermittent leave that is foreseeable based on planned medical treatment, the employer may require the employee to transfer temporarily to an available alternative position offered by the employer for which the employee is qualified and that (1) has equivalent pay & benefits & (2) better accommodates recurring periods of leave than the regular employment position of the employee.
However, a son or daughter must be (1) under age 18 or (2) 18 yrs. of age or older & incapable of self-care because of a mental or physical disability.
I wish the best for your child.
