How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that employee may give adequate notice by merely referring to a serious health condition of which employer is already aware
• holding that the FMLA should not be construed to provide more protection than the Americans with Disabilities Act [hereinafter ADA], which “protects only persons who over the long run are capable of working full time”
• noting that “notice is essential” even assuming that the employee was suffering from a serious health condition
• finding an employee’s reference to being sick does not suggest to the employer that FMLA could be applicable
• stating that ‘“[s]ick’ does not imply a ‘serious health condition’”
• affirming summary judgment for the employer when an employee suffering from depression called and informed her employer only that she was “sick”
