I am currently eligible for FMLA through my present employer (a county agency in Ohio) for the upcoming birth of my child at the end May and wish to take the full 12 weeks to care for the child. It is my understanding that I only need to file for FMLA 30 days prior to taking FMLA, however, my employer is telling me that I needed to file as soon as I found out that I was pregnant. The only reason that they are giving me is that pregnancy can also be counted as an “ongoing medical condition” and that they can subtract any time that I take off for doctor’s appts from that 12 weeks. Furthermore, rumor has it from individuals who have taken FMLA for maternity leave in the past is that they make you use FMLA retroactively for dr’s appts. My intentions are to file for FMLA leave at the end of March, however, I was given the FMLA papers on 1/25 and was told that they needed to be returned within 2 weeks. Legally, are these things that employers are allowed to do?

He should have been prime Minister. But, as we slowly are drawn into a 'civil war' against Islam....could he have prevented this through his intellect and foresight?. A true Brit was prevented from taking power and look what we've got.!!

Is it legal if your mother trys and takes your cell phone that you own, and pay for? Also, you're over the age of 18 and still live w/her. Also, is it right that your mother bruns your college homework if you don't do what she says and doesn't let you study before you do what she says that will take all day and your test is tomorrow?

Maryland may join 10 other states in allowing illegal immigrants to qualify for in-state tuition rates at the state's public colleges.

Democratic Delegate Victor R. Ramirez claims " We're allowing people to cut our yards, wash our cars, clean our houses for probably very cheap wages, the least you can do is let their children have an opportunity , that's the American way."

My question was directed at using EMPLOYERS of illegal immigrants as an excuse. The employers should punished for hiring illegals not as a whitewash to getting illegals more benefits.
Isn't that just giving employers that hire illegals an out ?
Or in some twisted fashion justification for breaking the law when they hire illegal workers - they not only get cheap labor but their children are being USED as legislative leverage ?
