If my sonsuffers from Aspergers syndrome, is there an FMLA form I can have filled out by his therapist stating that I have the right to take these calls without reprimand?
Question Details:
Sometimes I am required to take several phone calls during the day to deal with various issues concerning him. This is causing problems with co-workers.
Employment and Labor Law Answers
Unfortunately, FMLA, while powerful in some respects, is also very limited in other regards. In particular, the only thing that FMLA does is guaranty the right to take unpaid leave from work to care for a sick family member (or for your own medical needs; or for child birth and to care for a newborn). FMLA does not provide any right to take repeated phone calls during the day at work, so FMLA will not help you in this regard.
