But can a company even require an employee to call in every day while they’re on a disability leave? The assumption would be that the documentation had an expected return date. If someone is disabled (in any way) and unable to work until the dr’s release date, other than to notify of change of expected return date, what would be a valid reason for the employer to require that?

I disagree with the court. The guidelines are quite clear. Stupid is as stupid is. Smart enough to obtain FMLA, and sue but not enough to read the paperwork! Come on, my employees are scamming the system as soon as they get in Time Trouble, here comes the FMLA!
