Question by juliette357@att.net: If I have cosmetic surgery done is my husband eligable for leave under FMLA?
I am getting ready to have cosmetic surgery done and I will need help for several days of recovery. My husband has been at his job for 18 months now I and I was wondering if he would be qualified for PAID time off under the Family Medical Leave Act?

* for the birth and care of the newborn child of the employee;
* for placement with the employee of a son or daughter for adoption or foster care;
* to care for an immediate family member (spouse, child, or parent) with a serious health condition; or
* to take medical leave when the employee is unable to work because of a serious health condition.
