These accounts payable are driving me nuts. You hang up and call Sam Shingleout, Hotseat's lawyer. Please tell me I can let Lingerer go. But Mal has the ADA on his side, too. I think you ought to be very careful.
Lawyers love telling clients to be very careful.
They're not as good at telling clients what that means. Congress intended FMLA and the ADA to be completely separate. They're even administered by separate agencies, FMLA by the Labor Dept., and the ADA by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Your only hope is the undue hardship exception under the disabilities law. You know how all this will look on those reports to the home office.
