Employee leave - Business Management Daily

FMLADA! Sometimes employment laws just look all blurry. Like when you?re required to grant leave to employees under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) ? and then grant additional time off as a ?reasonable accommodation? under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Where does one law stop and the other law start? One court recently answered this question with a bright-line finding. The ADA doesn?t always have to kick in after FMLA leave.

Case in Point: ?Rocky? Brown, a supervisor at a New Mexico supply warehouse, was granted FMLA leave to undergo colon cancer surgery. Later, he was given intermittent FMLA leave to deal with recurring health-related absences. Eventually, Brown exhausted all of his 12 weeks of FMLA leave within a 12-month period. He asked for even more leave, but the company terminated him. Brown sued.

While Brown realized his FMLA leave was ending, he argued that he was denied his rights for a ?reasonable accommodation? under the ADA. Brown claimed the ADA entitled him to either: 1) More unpaid leave; 2) Be able to work from home; 3) Have his duties be assigned to another worker; or 4) Be assigned to another temporary position.

The employer denied he was a ?qualified individual? under the ADA because he could not perform the essential functions of his job?including the physical need to be at work in the warehouse?either with or without a reasonable accommodation.

What happened next?

The court sided with the company, noting two issues. First, while a reasonable accommodation may include working from home, it all depends on the essential elements of the job. Brown was a warehouse supervisor and needed to be in the warehouse to supervise. Second, the evidence, including the doctor?s notes, failed to indicate if and when Brown would ever sufficiently recover from his impairment to return to work. The last doctor?s note stated he ?may? be able to come back to work, but by then Brown had already missed another return-to-work date.

The court ruled, ?Because Brown did not show a reasonable accommodation would allow him to perform the essential functions of his job, we agree?that Brown was not a qualified individual under the ADA and the employer did not wrongfully terminate him.? (Valdez v. McGill, 10th Cir., unpublished opinion 2/13/12).

3 Lessons Learned ? Without Going to Court

1.Be descriptive. Make sure you ?describe? the essential functions of every job in all job descriptions, including the need for physical attendance at work. Pilots and bank tellers are not the only people who cannot work from home.

2. Count accurately. As part of his lawsuit, Brown argued his employer interfered with his FMLA leave. But when the court added up the weeks (to the day), they were all used up. This left Brown no longer protected by the FMLA.

3. Huddle closely. When it comes to untangling FMLA rights from ADA rights, it?s always a best practice for HR professionals and legal counsel to huddle closely. Remember, there was a lawsuit here. But, a huddle before employment actions are taken will prove to be a great return on your investment of time and resources. In this case, the court found there was no case. The employer avoided a very costly trial and possible verdict.

Humble Bundle Mojam happens this weekend: vote on a game, see it made in 60 hours for charity

The Humble Bundle organization has done a fairly impressive job of raising money for charities with its name-your-price game bundles (also benefiting game developers, of course), but it's doing something a little different this weekend. It's enlisted the help of Minecraft creator Mojang for the Humble Bundle Mojam, a 60-hour coding jam (streamed live) that will see a game made from scratch and eventually sold, with all of the proceeds going to charity. They're also opening up the type of game to a vote, with folks able to choose from a number of different themes and genres, but the real kicker is that they're going to take the highest and lowest votes -- meaning you could see Real Time Strategy Beat 'em Up with a Steampunk / Ancient Egypt theme if the current voting holds up. Hit the source link below if you'd like to try to sway that in a different direction.

Whitney Houston fans to follow funeral on Internet (AP)

NEW YORK ? They won't be there in person, but Whitney Houston's millions of fans worldwide will be able to share in her homecoming service Saturday as they watch her private funeral on the Internet and elsewhere.

Houston's publicist, Kristen Foster, announced Wednesday that The Associated Press will be the only video camera allowed inside at Saturday's funeral in Newark. The AP will stream the service on http://livestream.com/aplive. The event also will be available to broadcasters via satellite.

It will provide a much-needed connection for fans who have lacked a formal place to eulogize Houston, one of the world's best-selling artists who died in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Saturday at the age of 48.

Some have gathered and placed flowers outside the Newark, N.J., church where the funeral will be held by invitation-only at the request of Houston's family, who wish to maintain some privacy. Others have stopped by the funeral home. But many have longed to share more fully in commemorating the superstar's life, and have shown their grief in one of the few ways available to them ? by buying her music.

Houston's funeral will be at New Hope Baptist Church, where she sang as a child. Her eulogy will be given by gospel singer Marvin Winans, a Grammy Award winner and longtime family friend. Afterward, Houston will be buried in Fair View Cemetery in Westfield, N.J., according to her death certificate. Her father, John Russell Houston Jr., was buried there in 2003.

Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, investigators for the coroner's office have subpoenaed records from the singer's doctors and pharmacies who dispensed medication found in the hotel room where she died.

Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter said such inquiries are routine in virtually all death investigations.

Investigators have not said what medications they have recovered from Houston's room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. The singer was found underwater in a bathtub by a member of her staff hours before she planned to attend her mentor Clive Davis' swank pre-Grammy gala. Police have said there were no signs of foul play and Winter said there were no signs of trauma on her body when an autopsy was conducted on Sunday.

It will be weeks before toxicology results reveal the medications and quantities, if any, that were in Houston's system when she died. The Grammy winner's history of substance abuse has added to the speculation that her death may have been caused by prescription drugs.

In a 2009 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Houston talked about how she was deeply shaken by the death of Michael Jackson. Jackson died at age 50 that year from an overdose of the anesthetic propofol.

Houston recalled taping a show celebrating Jackson's 30th anniversary celebration in 2001. Houston was strikingly thin ? so much so that rumors spread soon after that she had died. Jackson was also frail.

"I was getting scared," she told Winfrey. "I was looking at myself going, `No, I don't want this to be like this. This can't happen. Not both of us.'"

Like Jackson, Houston was on the verge of a career comeback before her death on Feb. 11. And, like Jackson, sales of her recordings have soared since her passing as fans try to recapture her glory days in the 1980s and 1990s. Old recordings have been propelled to the top of sales charts on iTunes and Amazon.com.
