FMLA compliance involves adhering to the federal law that protects eligible employees’ rights to take unpaid, job-protected leave for family and medical reasons.
Employers must follow specific notification and record-keeping requirements to meet compliance standards and avoid legal penalties.
Employees who have worked for their employer for at least 12 months and have completed 1,250 hours of service in the previous year typically qualify.
The employer must also have 50 or more employees within 75 miles for the FMLA law to apply.
Eligible employees are entitled to up to 12 workweeks of unpaid leave in a 12-month period for qualifying reasons.
Certain situations like military caregiver leave can allow for up to 26 weeks of leave.
An employer can deny FMLA leave if the employee does not meet the eligibility criteria or fails to provide the required documentation.
However, improper denial of FMLA leave can result in legal claims against the employer.
FMLA protects employees from losing their job during approved leave and requires continuation of group health insurance coverage under the same terms as if the employee had not taken leave.
It also prohibits retaliation against employees for exercising their FMLA rights.
We provide guidance on employer responsibilities and employee rights, help with dispute resolution, and ensure that FMLA policies meet federal standards.
