Hi Sylvia! If you mean that the employee has been on FMLA for 12 weeks, if she has a permanent disability under some circumstances you would be required to provide a reduced work week under ADA. Post a more detailed question (not comment) for a longer answer. HTH, and thanks for reading the blogs!~ Caitlin

I have an employee who is returning to work, after holding her position for 12 weeks, and has informed me that she will only work from Tuesday to Friday. That was not told to me as the employer, do I have the right to terminate her. She should be working Monday through Friday.

Hi Le Burke! Unfortunately, your friend has few options in our society. The company is correct — they are too small to be covered by FMLA. If he were permanently disabled, he would qualify for Social Security, but there are few resources available to those who are on short term disability.

I have a friend that has worked for the same company for over 18 years. He has had a stroke and is partially paralized on his left side. The company he works for has filed Chapter 11 and only has about 20 to 30 employees left in the state. He asked about the FMLA for 90 days to complete his physical therepy but was told that since they have less than 50 employees in the state the company does not qualify to give him FMLA. Is this correct? He was told he could go on Cobra if he wanted to contiue his insurance cause they were dropping his medical coverage. Does he have any options at all?
