Integrated Absence Management: Intermittent Leave Challenges

Thirty years since its enactment, the FMLA remains an implementation challenge for employers. Despite high awareness of the law, a recent Department of Labor report shows that many employees do not fully understand its design and the protections it provides, and many employers struggle with FMLA administration and intermittent leave.

Absence Matters: Intermittent Absences

Intermittent leave has caused headaches for absence management professionals since the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) was enacted in 1993. However, many don’t realize that intermittent leave isn’t just an FMLA consideration and that it can be a helpful tool.

Featured Case: FMLA Intermittent Requests for Planned Treatment

Intermittent leave under the FMLA continues to challenge employers. Regulations require employees who need leave for planned treatment to make reasonable efforts to schedule treatment in a manner that does not unduly disrupt operations, but employers still struggle with employees who fail to follow this process.

Is Intermittent Leave a Reasonable Accommodation?

Over the last decade, a continuous leave of absence has been widely recognized as a possible accommodation for employees in certain circumstances. As the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission continues to enforce that leave is a valid ADA accommodation, the question remains as to whether employers must allow intermittent leave as an accommodation.
