Request a Medical Leave

Medical Leave under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), allows eligible employees certain legal rights for absence up to a total of 12 workweeks (maximum) of unpaid Medical Leave during an applicable 12-month period. This Medical Leave is for an employee's own "serious health condition" as defined by FMLA regulations.

By law, to be eligible for a Medical Leave qualifying under FMLA, you must be employed with the Company for at least 12 months and have worked for at least 1,250 hours during the previous 12-month period.

In addition:

• The medical absence must exceed 3 consecutive work days.
• The medical absence occurs frequently or sporadically.
• The medical condition is determined to be a "serious health condition" under FMLA guidelines
