If employees meet the criteria, they are entitled to leave or accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and Worker’s Compensation. These are great things that you must provide your employees.

But, what if they are lying? What if you think that they aren’t injured or are using intermittent FMLA to go skiing?
