What is the name of your state? PA
i gave employer the required 30 days notice (back in february) and then supplied the required paperwork from the doctor (gave it to HR March30). i was told by HR that it will have to be discussed with my manager to see if they can accomadate my request of intermitent leave. my son is battling cancer and i have been using my PTO time since I have not heard anything. I explained I am not taking the full 12 weeks at one time and it would be here and there.
my question is, how long do I have to wait to see if they can accomadate my request or am I immediately approved for FMLA? i went thru this 12 yrs ago with a different employer and did not have a problem. I believe that the HR rep does not know the law at all and they have only had people take the full 12 weeks and no one ever took intermintent leave.
