Employee Leave and Accommodations
Family Medical Leave (FMLA)
What is FMLA Leave?
The Family and Medical Leave Act (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 workweeks 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 reasons related to the foreign deployment of your spouse, child, or parent who is a military servicemember.
FMLA leave is not paid leave. You will be required to use any available paid leave (e.g., sick, personal, vacation).
