Is your organization in compliance with requirements of the Family and Medical Leave Act?
Grab your FMLA policy and join us as we explore which employers are covered by the FMLA, when employees are eligible and entitled to take FMLA leave, and what rules apply when employees take FMLA leave.
The FMLA entitles eligible employees of covered employers to take unpaid, job-protected leave for specified family and medical reasons with continuation of group health insurance coverage under the same terms and conditions as if the employee had not taken leave.
The FMLA applies to all:
-
Private sector employers with 50 or more employees in 20 or more workweeks in the current or preceding calendar year, including joint employers and successors of covered employers;
-
Public agencies, including local, state, or federal government agencies, regardless of the number of employees it employs; a
-
Public or private schools and local education agencies, regardless of the number of employees.

- Employer coverage
- Employee eligibility
- Qualifying leave reasons, including military caregiver and exigencies
- Amount and timing of leave required
- Notification requirements and available forms
