It outlines the eligibility criteria, which includes having worked for at least 12 months and 1,250 hours, and the stipulation that employees can take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave within a 12-month period, with reinstatement to the same or equivalent job upon return. The document also emphasizes the importance of notifying employers 30 days in advance for planned leave to avoid delays. Specific protections, such as prohibiting discrimination against employees for exercising their leave rights, are also highlighted.
