Original Note:
Employers are generally not supposed to contact employees when they are on formal leave, let alone require the employee to answer them, specifically because the employee is not earning standard wages or what's known as being "on the clock". https://www.shrm.org/resourcesandtools/legal-and-compliance/employment-law/pages/leave-employees-alone-fmla-time-off.aspx https://ogletree.com/insights/contacting-employees-on-fmla-leave-answers-to-4-inevitable-questions/#:~:text=A%3A%20Employers%20may%20want%20to,and%20the%20employee's%20return%20date. https://www.gryphonblack.com/maternity-leave-when-is-contact-reasonable/
