I am currently employed for a Governmental agency in Colorado. Can an employer force an employee to take FMLA Leave for a work related injury sustained on the job working for that agency.
I was injured on the job and filed a claim for the injury which was accepted by the employer. I recieved surgery for the injury wwhich was paind by workers compensation. Following the surgery, months of recovery and rehabilitation was needed. I found out at a later time my employeer charged my available FMLA Leave for that injury and recovery. Is this legal? Whene may I find legal documentation reciting the law outlining this issue?
