FMLA Eligibility Quiz - Are You Eligible for Leave?
Answer 3 quick questions to see if you qualify for job-protected leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act.
Does your employer have 50 or more employees within 75 miles?
Count all employees at your location and nearby offices, branches, or stores within 75 miles.
Have you worked for this employer for at least 12 months?
The 12 months don't have to be consecutive. Any time worked for this employer in the past 7 years counts.
Have you worked at least 1,250 hours in the past 12 months?
That's about 24 hours per week on average. Count only hours actually worked - not PTO, holidays, or sick time.
What is FMLA?
The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is a federal law that gives eligible employees up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave per year. It covers leave for the birth or adoption of a child, caring for a spouse, child, or parent with a serious health condition, or your own serious health condition. FMLA applies to all public employers and private employers with 50 or more employees.
