[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I predict a lot of people will take FMLA to buy time. [/quote]

You realize you can’t just “take” FMLA right? And if you lie about a health condition to get time off you’re committing federal fraud, so good luck with that one. [/quote]

Pp here. Yes, they will need to get a doctor to fill out a form saying they need time off work due to illness. They can cite severe depression or anxiety due to RTO. For many people it wouldn’t be lying.

Alternatively, they can bring a form related to their parents or children and a health situation requiring they take time off work. [/quote]

I have a special needs child which involves a lot of therapies and IEP meetings etc. I haven’t put in for FMLA because my boss knows about it and is understanding (and I can manage it with telework and flex time). I’ve definitely already thought about this before seeing this post.[/quote]

Similar boat here - my child is not obviously special needs but until recently did an hour of speech and an hour of occupational therapy a week. Her pediatrician had offered to sign FMlA forms but we didn’t need the flexibilities because working from home we could get her from school and drive her to speech or OT without leaving early. (DH works from home but he’s not a fed.) if we’d had to do  that and commute I think I would have needed FMLA. I’m sure many Feds are in situations like this. [/quote]
