Intermittent Leave (FMLA)

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) permits employees to take leave on an intermittent basis or to work a reduced schedule:

  • When it is medically necessary to care for a seriously ill family member, or because of the employee’s serious health condition
  • To care for a newborn or newly placed adopted or foster care child ONLY with employer’s approval.

Eligibility

  • Employee must have been employed for at least 12 months; AND
  • Must have worked at least 1250 hours during the 12 months prior to the start of the leave

Leave Entitlement

A covered employer must grant an eligible employee up to a total of 12 work weeks of leave in a 12- month period. The District defines this 12-month immediately prior to the first date of your leave (i.e., ‘rolling’ 12-months).

  • For the birth of a child, and to care for the newborn child;
  • For the placement with the employee of a child for adoption or foster care, and to care for the newly placed child
  • To care for a family member with a serious health condition
  • When the employee is unable to work because of a serious health condition
