FAQ
In order to establish a claim for FMLA interference, an employee must prove that: (1) he or she is an eligible employee; (2) the employer is a covered employer; (3) he or she was entitled to take FMLA leave; (4) notice of the employee's intention to take the FMLA leave was given to the employer; and (5) the employee
No. An employer cannot require a physician's note every time an employee misses work while taking FMLA intermittent leave.
Under the rolling method, known also in HR circles as the look-back method, the employer looks back over the last 12 months, adds up all the FMLA time the employee has used during the previous 12 months and subtracts that total from the employee's 12-week leave allotment.
Under the ''rolling'' 12-month period, each time an employee takes FMLA leave, the remaining leave entitlement would be the balance of the 12 weeks which has not been used during the immediately preceding 12 months. Example 1: Michael requests three weeks of FMLA leave to begin on July 31st.
Using this method, the employer will look back over the last 12 months from the date of the request, add all FMLA time the employee has used during the previous 12 months and subtract that total from the employee's 12-week leave allotment.
Steps for calculating the 12-month rolling total: 1) For the first 12 months - track of the total hours for each month. 2) At the end of 12 months - total the hours of operation for the year. For the example it is 4,900 hrs/yr.
Next the employer would subtract the total amount of FMLA leave taken in the last 12 months from the 12 weeks the employee is entitled to in any 12-month period. This can be done in full weeks, fractions of weeks, days or even hours, depending on how the leave was used.
Employers may choose to have a policy that defines a 12-month FMLA period as follows: The calendar year;The 12-month period measured forward from the date any employee's first FMLA leave under paragraph (a) begins; or, A "rolling" 12-month period measured backward from the date an employee uses any FMLA leave.
FMLA regulations state that an employee is entitled to 12 weeks of leave in a 12-month period.A "rolling" 12-month period measured backward from the date an employee uses any FMLA leave.
