Do You Qualify for Coverage Under FMLA?
Not all companies are required to provide FMLA leave. But if you work for a company with more than 50 employees in the private sector, employees at your office have the right to take time off for family reasons. Under FMLA, employees at these companies qualify if they meet specific criteria, such as:
- Worked at the company for 12 months
- Worked at least 1,250 hours over the past year
Both full-time and part-time employees are eligible for up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave. Employees will get paid, if they have accrued enough vacation or sick time. Once you return to work, you are entitled to the same or an equivalent position.
