What is the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)?

Generally, the Family and Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”) allows you to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave during any 12-month period due to:

• the birth, adoption, or placement with you for adoption of a child;
• to provide care for a spouse, child, or parent who is seriously ill; or
• your own serious illness.

You are generally eligible for a leave under the FMLA if you:

• have worked for the same Contributing Employer for at least 12 months;
• have worked at least 1,250 hours over the previous 12 months; and
• work at a location where at least 50 employees are employed by the Contributing Employer within 75 miles.

If you would like more information in regards to this please visit the FMLA section of the DOL website or contact your Business Representative.
