What is the name of your state? OREGON
I took FMLA leave to care for my sick family member. My family member scheduled travel date to my home town on the first day of my authorized FMLA leave. But at the airport his health got deteriorated and stopped his plans of travelling. But my FMLA leave is already started.
Now, I am providing care for my family member from my remote location like arranging his medical appointments, talking to his physician, and monitoring his treatment instead of physically helping him with his day to day activities. Since, my family member is not geographically located at my current location and I am still on FMLA leave, I am afraid, if this is considered as a violation of FMLA act?
If my employer gets to know about it, apart from terminating my job, will they prosecute any criminal charges against me for violating FMLA act? Like is this violation is called as a Misdeamenor or a Felony?
