Report Link Third Circuit Eases Requirement for Employee Notification of Need for FMLA Leave.Jackson Lewis LLP - January 17, 2008 An employee's oral notification to his supervisor of his potential need for surgery served as sufficient notice for leave to warrant protection under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act, the federal court of appeals in Philadelphia has held. In a decision that broadens the type of conduct sufficient to put an employer on notice of an employee's need for FMLA leave, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals vacated the lower court's grant of summary judgment for the employer on the plaintiff-employee's FMLA claim.

affirmed the district court’s grant of an employer’s motion for
summary judgment, finding the plaintiff, a former employee,
failed to produce sufficient evidence that the employer was on
notice that she had a serious health condition and, the plaintiff
failed to prove her termination for violation of defendant’s “no
call/no show policy” was a pretext for discrimination.

jurisdiction over Georgia employers
recently dismissed a lawsuit brought
by an employee who was denied leave
under the Family and Medical Leave

failed to provide sufficient notice to
her employer that she was requesting
leave for a potentially FMLA-qualifying
reason. Report Link FMLA Update -- A Ray of Hope for Members of the Psychic Employers Network?
