Just for starters...

The FMLA protects leave for:

A serious health condition that makes the employee unable to work

You would really like to think that folks in /c/ProgressivePolitics are familiar with the most basic workplace protections afforded sick or injured workers.

Please, if FMLA is the only problem just cut him a check for the wages and the benefits he would've been entitled to and fire his ass. Worse things happen to better people all the time in this country.
