FAQ
If it is necessary for business purposes to communicate that an employee is or will be out of work, you can indicate that they are on leave, but do NOT disclose they are on medical leave.
In general, when an employee is out, we recommend informing coworkers only that the employee is on a leave of absence. The reasons for the leave are not any of the coworkers' business, and the employee might not want the reasons known by others.
No federal law prohibits employers from asking employees why they are out sick. They are free to ask questions such as when you expect to return to work. They may also require you to furnish proof of your illness, such as a note from a physician.
To qualify for FMLA, an employee must have been with their employer for at least 12 months, with at least 1,250 hours worked over that time.
Can an Employer Fire an Employee who is on Disability Leave? An employee may be terminated even if the employee is taking or attempts to take disability leave, so long as there is a legitimate business reason that would not be considered retaliatory or impermissible under the state or federal laws.
No. Your employer cannot punish you for taking PFML leave, including firing you, disciplining you, demoting you, suspending you, threatening you, or otherwise discriminating against you.
To qualify for FMLA, an employee must have been with their employer for at least 12 months, with at least 1,250 hours worked over that time.

If you are able to perform the essential functions of your job, you cannot be fired because you have a disability. You also can't be fired because your employer believes you have a disabling condition. This is known as perceived disability discrimination.
