Leave Amount and Scheduling

Leave Amount and Scheduling under Family and Medical Leave Law refers to the specific duration and timing of leave that an employee can take for family or medical reasons. Eligible employees can take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave in a year for events like caring for a newborn, a seriously ill family member, or their own health condition. Scheduling can be flexible; employees may take leave all at once or intermittently, as needed. Employers are required to maintain the employee's job and restore them to their position upon return, ensuring job security during their leave.
