Posted by on March 2, 2012 at 10:57 am | Last modified: March 2, 2012 10:57 amWhile employees with chronic medical conditions are typically entitled to FMLA leave, such intermittent absences are fertile ground for abuse. After all, an employee on intermittent leave can simply call in and say his condition is acting up.
But that doesn?t mean you?re powerless if you suspect abuse.
If you notice odd or recurring patterns?such as employees using inter??mittent FMLA leave around holidays or a Monday/Friday trend?the best approach is to carefully document your suspicions. List intermittent leave re??quests and when they coincide with other time off. Then launch an investigation.
Remember, court rulings have given you the power to call and check on em??ployees to make sure they?re resting at home during FMLA leave. Or you can require them to contact you if they leave the house during sick leave.
Give teeth to your FMLA policy by creating penalties for workers who violate the call-in rules. Make sure employees on FMLA know they don?t have an unqualified right to be ?left alone? while enjoying time off.
Recent case: Ohio Bell Telephone employee Erik Tillman suffered from a chronic back condition, so his doctor certified intermittent leave when pain flared up.
After a few months, Tillman?s boss noticed that his FMLA requests always coincided with other days off. HR launched an investigation.
The next time Tillman used inter??mittent leave?again coinciding with other days off?an investigator secretly filmed Tillman doing yard work, apparently not in pain.
When confronted with the evidence, Tillman claimed he had taken drugs that helped his mobility. Ohio Bell fired him anyway for dishonesty.
Tillman sued, alleging interference with FMLA leave. The court dismissed the case, saying Ohio Bell honestly believed it was discharging an employee for abusing leave. (Tillman v. Ohio Bell Telephone, No. 3:09-CV-2351, ND OH, 2011)

The NY Times has an article about attachments to the iPhone for tracking blood sugar and blood pressure. There are also glorified web cams that take pictures of your ear drum, teeth or eyes to save you a trip to the doctor’s. Some people are tracking the changes in their moles with an iPhone App. Is this the beginning of Med 2.0?” Odd as it sounds, I was able to be more quickly and reliably diagnosed with Lyme disease last fall because I’d taken some pictures on my phone of the lesion I’d wrongly thought was the result of a spider bite. Any camera would have worked, but I had my camera-equipped phone with me, rather than any other kind.

Posted by on January 23, 2012 at 12:37 pm | Last modified: January 23, 2012 12:37 pmPARIS (Reuters) ? French President Nicolas Sarkozy said on Friday that time was running out to avoid a military intervention in Iran and he appealed to China and Russia to support new sanctions to force Tehran to negotiate over its uranium enrichment program.
France has led international efforts for tougher measures to increase pressure on Iran to halt its nuclear program since talks between Tehran and six world powers — the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany — stalled.
Western nations have voiced mounting concern that Israel could launch a preemptive attack against Tehran, deepening instability in an already volatile region.
“Time is running out. France will do everything to avoid a military intervention,” Sarkozy told French ambassadors gathered in Paris. “A military intervention will not solve the problem, but it will unleash war and chaos in the Middle East.”
Israel and the United States have refused to rule out military action while Iran continues enrichment operations which they say are aimed at seeking nuclear weapons. Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak said on Wednesday, however, that any decision about an Israeli assault on Iran was “very far off.” [nL6E8CI0NH]
Tehran insists its nuclear research has only peaceful civilian ends and has refused to discuss it with Western powers.
EU foreign ministers are expected to agree an oil embargo against Iran, the world’s fifth largest exporter, and a freeze on the assets of its central bank at a meeting on Monday in Brussels.
Iran has threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz, used for a third of the world’s seaborne oil trade, if Western moves to ban Iranian crude exports cripple its lifeblood energy sector.
Sarkozy urged Russia and China to back the tougher sanctions. The two emerging powers, which have also blocked efforts at the EU Security Council on Syria, have shown their unwillingness to back further oil sanctions on Iran, creating a rift in the international community.
“We need stronger, more decisive sanctions that stop the purchase of Iranian oil and freeze the assets of the central bank, and those who don’t want that will be responsible for the risks of a military conflict,” Sarkozy said.
“Help us guarantee peace in the world. We really need you,” Sarkozy said, in a direct appeal to Moscow and Beijing.
Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said during a visit to the region on Thursday that Beijing opposes any Iranian effort to acquire nuclear weapons but he defended his country’s extensive oil trade with Tehran.
