An employee has been out on medical leave for 11 months. Our neutral (and, I believe, fair) policy is to terminate all employees who have been on leave for 12 consecutive months. If he doesn’t return in a month, can we terminate him?
![Page 42: Answers to the World's Scariest Employment Law Questions](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c13b984a7959f04a8b4596/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
4242
No (for 20 million reasons).
![Page 43: Answers to the World's Scariest Employment Law Questions](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c13b984a7959f04a8b4596/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

My scariest scenario is employees who abuse leave but I don’t want to make things scarier by doing something illegal and getting sued. What’s the deal when an employee asks for an extended leave? Can I deny it as an unreasonable accommodation?
![Page 44: Answers to the World's Scariest Employment Law Questions](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c13b984a7959f04a8b4596/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
4444
Courts have ruled that extended leave (e.g., 6 months) can be a reasonable accommodation.
However, courts have also semi-consistently ruled that indefinite leave is not reasonable.
![Page 45: Answers to the World's Scariest Employment Law Questions](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c13b984a7959f04a8b4596/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
4545
After a lengthy battle over potential accommodations, an employee is demanding telecommuting as an accommodation. It seems unreasonable and rife with potential problems, especially since the employee is non-exempt. Can I get sued if I deny it?
![Page 46: Answers to the World's Scariest Employment Law Questions](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c13b984a7959f04a8b4596/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
4646
Yes.
Whether you’ll win depends on the particular circumstances, like virtually all accommodations.

It seems like every time I ask this one employee to do something she says, “Oooh, not today sweetie, I have a migraine.” Her doctor says her condition does indeed cause periodic migraines but hasn’t specified the exact frequency or duration and it’s driving me crazy. Do I have to let her take intermittent FMLA leave? Please say “no.”

Bob is normally a responsible, quiet employee. One day, however, he shows up two hours late and acts “obscenely happy, wearing make-up, avoiding eye contact, continuously rubbing his legs and touching everyone.” He also does a “crazy monkey arm dance” and begins “twirling and talking gibberish, flying around in the office in a hyper state.” Then he leaves. What do you do?
A. Fire him for inappropriate workplace behavior
B. Do a crazy monkey-arm dance in his honor until he returns
C. Drug test him
D. Give him a chance to explain his behavior

Let’s face it. The worst part of any job is when you have to fire someone (even if they deserve it). Where can I find a set of straightforward (i.e., legalese-free) tools to help ensure that my organization’s terminations are as fair, consistent, supportable and humane as possible?

I feel that we’re conditioned to be overly scared of litigating a case through to the end, even when we’re in the right. Management is just too chicken to ever fight anything (in my humble opinion). What do the latest facts and figures say about litigating versus settling?
