Case
You are a Director of Nursing. A challenging HR issue has been escalated to you. One of your nurses, Thom is nearing the end of his FMLA leave. He went out on leave to take care of his mother who is terminally ill. He has now requested an additional six to eight weeks of leave. Your clinic manager’s response to Thom was that he already had 12 weeks approved but he is needed back in the clinic.
Thom has several fellow employees who are willing to donate PTO time so he can be off. Thom has also told HR he believes his manager’s denial is retaliation for his initial FMLA leave.
Lastly, HR has just been informed by Thom’s therapist that Thom is too depressed to work. He needs six to eight weeks off. Given the unit is down a nurse they are over-budget for salaries related to overtime use by nurses covering for Thom. How will you address?
Identify the key challenges and proposed solutions.
Discuss the impact of FMLA use and potential retaliation accusations on your operational area.
How do these issues impact the organization?
