The purpose of FMLA is to care for family..thus the name FAMILY MEDICAL LEAVE ACT.
Short term disability is not FMLA..and it's determined by your insurance usually.
An employer with less than 50 employees is not required by DOL to let her take the time off and keep her job. Sure she can take off, they just dont have to hold her job b/c for small companies, it's supposedly too much of hardship on them to have someone gone so much..so they can rehire...
a sympathetic boss is your only out - or sick time/vacation time
