United States Third Circuit

Summary judgment for defendant-employer on a Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) claim is affirmed where it did not illegally interfere with a former employee's FMLA rights when, upon his return from short-term disability FMLA leave, it did not award him a full annual bonus payment under its Partnership Plan, but instead awarded him a payment prorated on the basis of the time he was absent.
