FMLA - Family and Medical Leave Act
TOP 20 FMLA QUESTIONS
1. Do Employers Have To Tell Employees that FMLA Leave Is Available?
Yes. Employers must post conspicuously a notice explaining the FMLA’s provisions and how to file complaints of alleged violations with the DOL. Employers must also include a statement of FMLA rights in their employee handbooks. Employers without employee handbooks must make statements of FMLA rights available to employees. §§825.300, 825.301(a).
2. Does the Employee Have To Give the Employer Notice of Intent To Take Leave?
Yes. The employee must give the employer a minimum of 30 days’ notice of his or her intent to take leave, to the extent foreseeable. If the employee would not have been able to foresee the need for leave 30 days in advance, the employee must give as much notice as practicable. §825.302(a).
