Question from L MORRIS in Oregon




Question:

IF I TERMINATED FROM MY JOB, AND BEFORE I TERMED I WAS ELIGIBLE FOR FMLA/OFLA AND NOW I AM BEING REHIRED (3 WEEKS LATER) BY THE SAME EMPLOYER, DO I HAVE TO WAIT THE 180 DAYS FOR OFLA AND THE 12 MONTHS FOR FMLA AGAIN?

Suggestion:

That question has been of legal battles over the past few years, There was a case in California where an employee had worked for an employer for 7 years, quit then returned a few years later and requested FMLA shortly after being rehired, but the employer denied his request, and the employee took legal action.  The Federal Government did not specify that the employment had to be continuous, though it doesn’t say it has to be either.  Oregon law might have such a provision, ask your employer to confirm your eligibility with their legal council.
