My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: PA
I personally am very familiar with the laws pertaining to FMLA. 12 yrs ago, I was the first one to use it at my company. my child was 10 and had cancer. It was the best thing they could do for me! I took intermitent leave and it worked fine. NOW! I am with a different company and the same child now has lung and heart cancer. They are telling me after I have supplied all the medical information regarding my child, all the forms and so forth......that HR is telling me that they need to talk with my manager to see if they can accomadate my request for intermittent leave. I thought that this is a federal law and they have no choice.
What do they do if they can not accommadate me? All I want is to be able to take off and not use all my vacation time to go to doctor's appointments.....which is about once every 3 weeks and if surgery, then of course time to be with child in the hospital.
