Product Description:

In a decision dated Aug. 27, 2007, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio ruled that Gospel Light Publications did not violate a former employee’s rights under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). In the course of analyzing the facts of the case however, the court noted that Gospel Light’s policy requiring the return-to-work medical certification to specify that an employee could work full duty or without restriction is in violation of the FMLA.
