Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA)


Covered employers must grant an eligible employee up to a total of 12 workweeks of unpaid leave during any 12-month period for one or more of the following reasons:

  • for the birth and care of the newborn child of the employee;
  • for placement with the employee of a son or daughter for adoption or foster care;
  • to care for an immediate family member (spouse, child, or parent) with a serious health condition; or
  • to take medical leave when the employee is unable to work because of a serious health condition.

An eligible employee is an employee of a covered employer who:

  • Has been employed by the employer for at least 12 months, and
  • Has been employed for at least 1,250 hours of service during the 12-month period immediately preceding the commencement of the leave, and
  • Is employed at a worksite where 50 or more employees are employed by the employer within 75 miles of that worksite.
