✅ Are your employees eligible for FMLA leave?

Eligibility depends on several factors, including how long the employee has worked for the employer, hours of service, and the number of employees working within 75 miles.

Meeting some requirements does not necessarily mean an employee is eligible.

📋 Does the FMLA apply to your business or organization?

Coverage generally depends on the number of employees and workweeks, while public agencies and public and private elementary and secondary schools are covered regardless of size.

Know when your organization is responsible for providing eligible employees with job-protected FMLA leave.
