Continuing FMLA?

FunHRBanker

Employee was on FMLA 4/9-5/11. Follow up appointments on 4/25 (4 hours) and 7/2 (3 hours). Do the follow ups count as FMLA also, or should I have told her she needed to use sick time?

Thanks!

We allow follow-ups as FMLA, but our policy specifies any type of paid leave must be used first in conjuction with FMLA.

It really depends on your policy, but you can count the follow up appts as part of the continuation if your policy allows. As the prior poster mentioned, if your policy requires that workers use PTO (in case you have PTO), you can also require that the worker use PTO for the missed time.

Best wishes.

We required the use of vacation and personal time, which she already used for the original absence. Thanks for your help!
