New York | Medical Leave
Legal Question
My elderly dad was diagnosed with cancer in July 09. They were initially saying chemo but had to run more tests on him (he is a heart patient ). Ultimately, we all decided to get a second opinion. I put in for and was approved for FMLA to help my dad out, and my mom, who doesnt drive, to get him back and forth to appointments etc. I had dad's doctor fill out the FMLA paperwork completely and submitted it to my employer. After only a few weeks, my employer is now requesting that I get notes from every person, doctors, etc. that I see. Are they allowed to do this? Nowhere have I read says this, it only says "periodical updates". Its only been a few weeks.
