FMLA for Birth, Adoption or Placement of a Child for Foster Care. Eligible employees may request FMLA leave during the 12 months following the birth, adoption or placement of a child for foster care in order to bond with their new child.
When leave is needed for planned medical treatment, the employee must make a reasonable effort to schedule treatment so as not to unduly disrupt the employerâs operation. If FMLA leave is for birth and care, or placement for adoption or foster care, use of intermittent leave is subject to the employer's approval.
