Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)/Medical Leave

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides eligible employees with up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job protected leave. Leave is available for 26 unpaid weeks for the care of a covered service member with a serious injury or illness.

The employee's payable leave will be substituted and run before the available FMLA time to keep the employee in a paid status for as long as he or she has payable benefits.
