Callison had worked for the city for two years when he was diagnosed with deep anxiety reaction
Question:
Callison took three months FMLA leave; the city checked on him, and he was often not home. He was suspended for failure to follow policy.
Callison sued, contending he should not be subject to discipline while on FMLA leave and that to discipline him was retaliation in violation of the statute.
The trial court held for the city. Callison appealed.
1. The appeals court affirmed that the employer had the right to be sure an employee was in fact at home while taking FMLA leave. Why would the employer care where the employee is?
2. Is it not an invasion of privacy to call employees on sick leave to check on them?
