Overview: The article discusses "How do leaves for on-the-job injuries interact under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the workers' compensation statutes? ". If the employee is eligible for leave under the FMLA and the on-the-job injury is considered a "serious health condition," the workers' comp leave should be treated as FMLA leave also. The FMLA defines serious health condition broadly to include any "illness, injury, impairment, or physical or mental condition that involves" either inpatient care or continuing treatment by a health care provider. The statute does not distinguish between work-related and non work-related injuries. Thus, any on-the-job injury that requires an employee to take leave to seek inpatient care or continuing treatment likely will be covered by the FMLA.
