Questions relating to FMLA
Not what you're looking for?
Can you assist me with hypothetical employment law questions surrounding Family Medical and Leave Act (FMLA).
For example, what is an employee which managed a restaurant applied for FMLA in order to take care of their aging parent who had cancer? If during the 12 weeks of FMLA the company had to hire a replacement for the restaurant manager (restaurants cannot run themselves) and when the manager return back to work, the employee sued the company to gain her job back at the location where she actually managed.
The company had a job at another location less than 50 miles away, not as a manager, but yet at the same salary. Could the employee sue and what type of outcome based on the questions below would arise?

It is required that the employee's job be reinstated in the same conditions that she left. Offering her a job at a different location is not acceptable. Taking care of aging parents who have cancer is a valid cause for availing herself of the FMLA. The restaurant had to have a replacement in the interim, that replacement could have been made on temporary basis and that temporary employee offered the position 50 miles away. Since the employee gets FMLA protection, she can sue and the outcome will be in favor of the employee. Reinstatement is a right of the employee unless there are some specific circumstances.
