Report Link Favorable Ruling on Proration of Bonus after FMLA Leave Provides Guidance for Employers.
Jackson Lewis LLP - September 07, 2006
A federal appeals court has ruled that an employer may prorate an hours worked-based "production bonus" for employees who are absent from work while on leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act. In Sommer v. Vanguard Group, No. 05-4034 (3d Cir. August 24, 2006), the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, which has appellate jurisdiction over federal cases arising in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and the Virgin Islands, held that the employer did not violate the FMLA when it reduced a former employee's annual bonus payment based on the employee's eight-week leave under the FMLA. This decision represents the first where a federal appellate court has considered the legality of proration of bonus programs under the FMLA. Accordingly, this decision provides valuable guidance for employers in structuring bonus programs to permit reductions based on employee leaves of absence.

Helms Mulliss & Wicker - May 12, 2006
On April 27, 2006, the federal Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals (which covers the states of Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia) ruled in the case of Yashenko v. Harrah’s NC Casino Company LLC, that an employee desiring to return to work after completing Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) leave has no absolute right to do so. The Court went on to rule that the decision of the employer to deny reinstatement to the complaining employee was proper under the circumstances presented.
