An employee wants to take 3 weeks of vacation to visit his family in Peru. His father is sick, but that was not initially his reason for taking time off. he put in a requst for 3 weeks and it was denied, because there is a 2 week maximum for time out for vacation. Now he is claiming he will use FMLA leave for the 3rd week of vacation because his father is sick. Is he within his rights??Can an employee take FMLA leave to visit a sick parent in another country?
If he wants to take an unpaid week to do it, and he qualifies and you are required to grant employees FMLA, I think you'd be causing yourself more grief than it's worth to deny the slacker.
I'd let it go; and have a long memory.
