An employee calls in on Monday and tells you that he will be absent that day. On Tuesday the employee calls in again and tells you that he is very sick and will be out for at least three more days, if not the entire week. The following Monday, you have not heard back from the employee, so you call him at home. He says that he saw a physician on Friday afternoon and has been conditionally diagnosed with pneumonia, is scheduled for diagnostic testing, and will be out, at least until the test results come back at the end of the week. The following Monday, following a two-week absence, the employee returns to work. What should you do? What portion of the absence, if any, may be applied to FMLA?
