Congress passed the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) to ensure job protection for those who needed to take leave from their employment due to serious illnesses. Most employees do not abuse this entitlement; however, there are a select few who always want to beat the system.

Those who abuse FMLA are headaches for both the employer and co-workers who have to pick up the slack. Unfortunately, when an employer terminates an employee for abusing FMLA, it will almost always come on the heels of an employee taking some type of leave. Timing alone can hurt the employer in court when an employee claims that you have retaliated against the employee for taking FMLA leave. How do you put yourself in the best legal position when termination for FMLA abuse is inevitable?
