FMLA is a federal law that provides eligible employees with job-protected leave for qualifying family and medical reasons.
Eligible employees can take up to 12 work weeks of FMLA leave in a 12-month period for:
- The birth, adoption or foster placement of a child with you.
- Your serious mental or physical health condition that makes you unable to work.
- To care for your spouse, child or parent with a serious mental or physical health condition, and
- Certain qualifying reason related to the foreign deployment of your spouse, child or parent who is a military service member.
You have the right to use FMLA leave in one block of time. When it is medically necessary or otherwise permitted, you make take FMLA leave intermittently in separate blocks of time.
FMLA leave is not paid leave. 91探花 requires that unused leave days (sick leave, compensatory, vacation, personal days) must be used concurrently with FMLA.
