To be eligible an employee has to have worked at least 1250 hours within the last 12 months; has to have worked at least 12 months total time for the employer; and be employed at a facility at which at least 50 employees are employed within a seventy-five-mile radius. Due to the 1250 hour requirement, many part-time employees will not be eligible for FMLA leave. The FMLA entitles eligible employees of covered employers to take unpaid, job-protected leave for specific family and medical reasons with continuation of group health insurance coverage under the same terms and conditions as if the employee had not taken leave. Eligible employees are entitled to 12 work weeks of leave in a 12-month period for: • The birth of a child and to care for the newborn child within one year of birth. • The placement with the employee of a child for adoption or foster care and to care for the newly placed child within one year of placement. • To care for the employee’s spouse, child, or parent who has a serious health condition. • A serious health condition that makes the employee unable to perform the essential functions of his or her job.
