Why are they sending me FMLA papers?

Your employer may be asking you to take "leave" under FMLA while you are already off work under Workers' Compensation. This is a common situation, and FMLA is generally quite apart and separate from Workers' Compensation -- that is, just because you qualify for FMLA leave does not mean that you don't get Workers' Compensation benefits.  If you have questions about this, please call Shasteen, Morris, & Ockander at (800) 665-0064.
