7-B | WHAT IS AN FMLA-QUALIFYING EVENT?

1) Employers are charged with determining whether the reason for the absence is FMLA-qualifying.

2) If an employer is on notice that the reason for the leave may qualify under the FMLA, the employer must make further inquiry to make the right determination. American Bar Association // Section of Labor and Employment Law
