Employees may be eligible for this leave once they have worked for the employer for a year or more and worked for 1,250 hours in the previous year.  Also, the employer must have at least 50 employees who work within 75 miles of the employee’s worksite.

While FMLA leave does not have to be paid, a qualifying employee has a right to up to twelve weeks of FMLA leave in a year.  If your employer is making it hard for you to exercise your FMLA rights, our attorneys’ are here to advocate for your ability to be there for you family.
