Can I require call ins from Employee's on Leave?

From the Jackson Lewis Law Firm:

 

Company Call-in Policy Upheld, No Interference with Employee's FMLA Rights

Date: 2.8.2011

An employer did not interfere with its employee’s rights under the Family and Medical Leave Act by firing her for violating repeatedly the company call-in policy, a federal appeals court in St. Louis has ruled in an unpublished decision.  Thompson v. CenturyTel of Central Arkansas LLC, No. 09-3602 (Dec. 3, 2010). The Court also ruled that the FMLA did not require an employer to provide its employee with written notice of its call-in policy each time she request leave.
