I am on medical leave for 1 month and my company has not provided me the FMLA form.
Question Details:
Can I be denied FMLA if the form is not turned in in time? I think I read somewhere that I have 15 days after start of my disability. If the form doesn't get filled out, will that mean that they can let me go?
Employment and Labor Law Answers
If you can prove that the company interfered with your ability to apply for the FMLA leave, you can get a court to prevent them from denying you the leave. You should write a letter to the company today, saying that you are still waiting for the form; send it certified mail with return receipt requested.
Should you have any problem going back to work, you need to take your copy of that letter to a good lawyer, who should be able to set the company straight.
