Inflammation of the nose (rhinitis) is a common cause of runny nose. Other common causes include the common cold (viral respiratory infection), influenza (flu), and sinusitis (inflammation or infection of the sinuses). Inserting objects into your nose can also produce a runny nose.
A: Under the FMLA rule, an employer must provide leave under whichever statutory provision provides the greater rights to employees.34 For examples of how this principle is applied, see the FMLA rule at  825.702(b)-(e).
However, unlike the FMLA, the Act does not contain any minimum length of service threshold which employees must satisfy to be covered. The Actâs grant of 12 weeks of leave allows employees to take leave intermittently, or by means of a reduced work schedule, as is also the case under the FMLA. If the reason for leave under the Act also entitles the employee to FMLA leave, the Act does not grant any additional leave time.
