What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Minnesota
I have been on FMLA for about 3 months for anxiety and depression. During this time my employer has reminded me regularly how much my absence has negatively affected the team and the progress of the program we are developing. My recent review was somewhat negative due to my absence and my raise was also less than it could have been. I have not missed any FMLA time since the first of the year, however I was down with the flu and pneumonia for three days which i had paid time off available. She reminded me that the flu an pneumonia are not covered under FMLA and that i could be written up for unexcused absences if I didnt have the time off coming, which I did. Through this whole process, my anxiety has increased and I have not felt comfortable using my FMLA benefits. I simply won'y because I need to feed my kids. I just try to avoid her at all costs and do my job. At what point does this constitute harassment?
