Temporary to Regular Employees and FMLA - HRTrainingClasses.com®
Here is a typical question about FMLA that I will receive from my clients: "I have an employee who started in our company about a year ago as a temporary employee from ABC Staffing Company. Two months ago, the employee was hired by our company as a regular full-time employee. The employee now needs surgery and is requesting FMLA. We denied the employee's FMLA request since he has not met the eligibility requirements. The employee only has two months of service since we hired him. Do we need to worry about any problems? We are correct, right?"
