You have a bad boss. Unless your boss is the owner of the job you work for you can EASILY handle this situation.
First, go get yourself a pocket recorder, not your cellphone, but an actual recording mic. They are inexpensive and can record for a much longer period than a phone would.
Second, make sure to video record every interaction with your boss on your phone or another method of video recording.
Third, get testimony from your co-workers on cam (video or audio) of the issues related to this boss.
Last, contact your HR department with the above recorded and tell them you are in contact with news organizations for a story on how the company treats its employees. Don't forget to record that as well.
If nothing changes, contact your local news department, your story will get aired.

HA!!! HR is a JOKE!!! Human Resources has ONE purpose, and one purpose only....protecting the company! This is why the name was changed from "Personnel" to "Human Resources" back in the early 90's. It depersonalizes everything, and focuses on "resources" as if they were a commodity (which is exactly how business views employees, despite what they may say). HR has exactly ZERO interest in looking out for the wellbeing of the employee, aside from risk management, insurance liability and general liability.
That said, you are correct in saying that most companies defer separation to HR. They do this simply to mitigate their risk. The HR folks know all the laws regarding separation / termination, and it is their responsibility to protect the interests of the company above all else (else they get terminated themselves).

FMLA. You need to have your doctor complete FMLA paperwork ASAP.

FMLA leave is unpaid. As I read the post, the guy is worried about getting paid.

Actually, in some states it is legal to voice record as long as one party consents.
