[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 2580704, member: 8481"] If you have the paperwork approved, to care for a family member with a severe illness, you should already be off caring for this member. Going to a wedding while you are already off caring for this member is fine and covered. But, if you have intermittent leave, and request a week off to take this family member to a wedding outside the country, see how fast that gets denied. I agree According to the law, no you cannot, unless you are the caregiver. Now, I know there is always exceptions to the law and such, so I am curious. Is this your opinion? Have you used it for this reason? Or did you just read this on the internet? Straight from the US DOL Website FMLA applies to all public agencies, all public and private elementary and secondary schools, and companies with 50 or more employees. These employers must provide an eligible employee with up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave each year for any of the following reasons: [LIST] [*]for the birth and care of the newborn child of an employee; [*]for placement with the employee of a child for adoption or foster care; [*]to care for an immediate family member (spouse, child, or parent) with a serious health condition; or [*]to take medical leave when the employee is unable to work because of a serious health condition.
