Depending on the size of the company, and what is considered "severe medical condition" you will find out some good info. If you have a union, they should be able to assist you with the forms.
Thank's for the info but I am aware of the FMLA act (although not familar with the details). My sister also has FMS and uses it for time off. My primary issue, though, is the ongoing problem of people wanting me to work nights and weekends in addition to my normal 40 hr week.
