Fmla Documentation And Tardiness

Summary

FMLA regulations in New York require employees to provide notice as soon as practicable for leave. Employers have discretion in policy enforcement but must apply them consistently to avoid discrimination claims. While employers arent required to remind employees about FMLA documentation, they may do so as a courtesy. Salaried employees must adhere to company policies, including punctuality, and can be written up for tardiness if it violates these policies. If tardiness is protected under FMLA and properly documented, employers should not penalize employees for it. However, tardiness outside of FMLA coverage may be subject to employer remarks. Open communication with HR and management is recommended to ensure FMLA leave is properly documented and protected.

In New York, being a salaried employee does not exempt one from adhering to company policies, including punctuality.

In New York, if your tardiness is protected under FMLA and properly documented, your employer should not penalize you for it. However, if there's tardiness outside of FMLA coverage, your manager might have grounds to make such remarks. It's advisable to ensure all your FMLA-related absences are well-documented.
