4459 An employee who took medical leave because of workplace stress and who, based on his psychiatrist's advice to avoid stressful situations, had his wife respond to inquiries by his employer regarding his medical condition cannot, as a matter of law, be found to have unreasonably failed to respond to his employer's inquiry; allegations that he was terminated for failing to personally respond can support an action for violation of the California Family Rights Act.
