FMLA Requirements and your rights

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) outlines that the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) provides an entitlement of up to 12 weeks of job-protected, unpaid leave during any 12-month period to eligible, covered employees for the following reasons:

1) Birth and care of the eligible employee’s child, or placement for adoption or foster care of a child with the employee

2) Care of an immediate family member (spouse, child, parent) who has a serious health condition

3) Care of the employee’s own serious health condition 

Getting Justice is a Team Effort WE WILL FIGHT FOR THE COMPESATION YOU DESERVE YOU SACRIFICE A LOT FOR YOUR JOB Why should you have to pay the price of losing it? You've Done Your Part Now We Want to Do Ours

to qualify for fmla, an employee must have:

⇒ Worked at a worksite within 75 miles of the employer
⇒ Worked at least a total of 12 months for the employer
⇒ Worked at least 1,250 hours during the 12 months immediately before the date FMLA leave began.

The FMLA requires employers to restore employees who return from FMLA leave to the same or equivalent position with pay, benefits, and responsibilities similar to the level that existed when leave began.
The Department of Labor also provides information on FMLA and includes updated announcements from the Wage and Hour Division.
