Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) Overview The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) provides covered employees with an entitlement to a total of up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave (LWOP) during any 12 month period for certain family and medical needs.
Both intermittent and continuous FMLA leave are available to you. Continuous FMLA leave is FMLA leave that is taken and not broken up by periods of work. Continuous FMLA leave is typically when an employee is absent for three consecutive business days or longer and has been treated by a doctor.
