Perhaps a call to a local attorney would be in order for this situation. Your employer can’t retaliate against you for taking FMLA and if the chiropractor you saw was indeed a medical doctor who required that you take the time off from work for this serious medical condition, then your employer may have broken the law.

Can a person have more than 1 FMLA at a time?? Are you allowed 2 seperate FMLA’s during the same time period ????

The quick answer is, no. FMLA allows for up to 12 weeks of unpaid time off for a serious medical condition. That is up to 12 weeks, usually in a 12 month period. Once you have used the 12 weeks you would have to wait 12 months before you can begin using FMLA again.

I worked for a company that has 12-15 employees. I have been having some issues that would require inpatient stay. I asked my CFO if I could take FMLA. He said that I might not have a job when I came back. Then he said he would check into it, At the end of the day I went to tell him that I had a solution and he fired me. Is this legal. Thank you

Unfortunately the Family Medical Leave Act applies to companies with 50 or more employees and many other laws require 15 to 20 employees. What your employer did isn’t ethical by any means, but he didn’t violate FMLA because it doesn’t apply to his business, however it might be worth a call to an attorney to be sure he hasn’t violated any civil laws.
