Requested verbally family leave to care for ill parent out-of-state. Request denied by immediate supervisor.
Yes, I've met all prerequisites having worked for the firm full-time for over 8 years. Confused!
What recourse do I have?
Full Version: FMLA
Submit a WRITTEN request for FMLA leave to the Human Resources department, summarizing when and why you need the leave.
Sometimes FMLA doesn't apply (< 50 employees?). Sometimes employers require a written request. Sometimes supervisors don't know the in's and out's of FMLA. Sometimes it isn't a serious medical condition as defined in FMLA. etc. etc. etc.
