No.
Also, an employer cannot consider FMLA leave in other employment actions, such as hiring, promotions, attendance policies, or disciplinary actions.
If you believe you have been retaliated against because of a request for FMLA leave, or because you took FMLA leave, contact the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). You can find the contact information at www.eeoc.gov
