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.

Employers may use the calendar year.Some employers use a third method called "counting forward." In this system, the 12-month period officially begins on the first day an employee takes FMLA leave.
The FMLA, or Family and Medical Leave Act, is a federal law that allows certain employees working for covered employers to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave during each 12-month period. The 12-week allowance resets every 12 months, so in a sense, FMLA continues each year.
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.
For the rolling backwards method, each time an employee requests more FMLA leave, the employer uses that date and measures 12 months back from it. An employee would be eligible for remaining FMLA leave he or she has not used in the preceding 12-month period.
