Question: If the employee is full time (40 hrs) but in her 12 mo prior to 1 yr of employment wants to cut her hours down (not based on dr orders)…do I have to allow that under FMLA prior to the one year? Can I tell her she has to keep the 40 hr work week until she has her 1 yr in? This is a pregnancy issue. Jan 1=1 yr employment. Due date end of Jan. Also, if she wants to cut her hrs down just for her convenience prior to delivery…she gets her 12 weeks starting when? beginning at the time she cuts her hrs? or after delivery? and when she comes back after the 12 weeks do I have to give her 40 hrs back?
