How much contact can we have with someone out on FMLA leave?

02/24/2014

Q: Once an employee is on approved FMLA, what are the employer’s rights in contacting the employee during the leave? Can we contact him/her to see how they are doing? Can they leave their premises at will, or do we have an expectation that they will be at home recuperating in accordance with the doctor's direction? -- Terry, New Jersey
