* to take medical leave when the employee is unable to work because of a serious health condition.
Also, Renea has since come back and clarified that her employer is over 50 so she would qualify for the FMLA.

you are correct, I misspoke. You should be able to use FMLA after you've exhausted all other sick time etc.
the kicker will be the # of employees in her company...
