question 81

Essay

Serena, who had worked for Global Tech for nearly 30 years, was hospitalized for having suicidal thoughts. One day, Serena notified her supervisor that she would be unable to work for at least one month. Global Tech mailed Serena an FMLA packet, which she completed and forwarded to her health care provider for certification. Global Tech denied the plaintiff's FMLA request because the supplied medical information was insufficient to support a serious health condition. Serena asked the hospital to provide additional medical information to the defendant, which Global Tech received the following day. A few days later, Global Tech notified Serena in a letter that she was terminated for her failure to supply medical information as required by the company. Serena sued her employer for interfering with her FMLA leave rights. Is she right?
