[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 747969, member: 18044"] There is no approval process. FMLA is a LAW. The US Congress already did the approving. The driver has a right to up to 12 weeks FMLA Leave. UPS is entitled to be informed in advance if practical, or as soon as possible thereafter if Leave is unforseen, but they do not have veto power over the Leave. The main reason UPS needs to know the circumstances of the Leave is so they can be in compliance with the LAW and not get fined. UPS needs to keep track of how many weeks of Leave the driver has used up during the year, and if those weeks are FMLA qualified weeks. UPS' duty is to obey the LAW. Period. By the way, it is the responsibility of all people to know all laws, even though that is probably not literally possible. "Ignorance of the Law is no excuse," as the saying goes. Fortunately there are only a limited number of laws that are revelant to most people, so everyone should familiarize themselves with those at least. One way to learn about revelant laws is to learn from the experiences of others before similar events happen to you. You seem to advocate we all stay ignorant of our rights and rely on you and UPS to tell us what's best for us. [/QUOTE]
