Earlier this week I dealt with a termination situation where an employee had just returned from FMLA.  The termination had nothing to do with the FMLA that this person was on.  It was due to circumstances that occurred prior to the leave and completely unrelated to the condition that caused the leave.  We moved forward with the termination and made sure that that the reasons for the termination were clearly explained to the employee.  This did not stop the person from feeling that the term was due to them taking FMLA, however we worked hard on making sure that we had the proper documentation and had taken progressive discipline.  My point is that FMLA does add a complication to the termination process but it is doable.  At Management 2000 we provide the Human Resources expertise to help our clients take the necessary steps to move forward with disciplinary action.  We look even closer when unusual circumstances arise.
