FMLA and municipalities

Darlene

Are North Carolina town and county governments required to follow the same FMLA guidelines as other employers???

Hatchetman

State and local governments are automatically covered under FMLA. But the criteria related the employee having the qualifying conditions and employment time and the employer having 50 employees witin 75 miles of each other still applies.

Thanks!! I thought that was the case, but just wanted to be sure.
