TTH’s Chris Scott recently released Episode 3 of TTH’s exclusive employment law podcast titled, FMLA: No Magic Words, Two Ways to Lose and Supervisor Liability. FMLA problems rarely start with a formal request—they start with an employee saying, “I need time off,” and someone missing the cue. In this episode, we break down the real-world risks of FMLA interference vs. retaliation, why there are no “magic words” required to trigger protections, and the plot twist many employers overlook: individual supervisors can sometimes be personally liable. Practical examples, clear takeaways, and a quick tease for next time: Performance Improvement Plans—how to use them as a tool, not a countdown clock.
