Intermittent Leave

lobrien

If an employee works 12 hours a day, 4 days a week, how many hours of FMLA is he entitled to? I know he would get 12 weeks, but how does that translate in hours when taking intermittent leave (40 hours x 12 = 480). Does that mean an employee who works 48 hours per week would get 576 hours (48 hours x 12 = 576)? Or is it just limited to 480 hours? Thank you!

Check the DOL website for FMLA section 29 CFR 825.205 How does one determine the amount of leave used where an employee takes intermittent leave or on a reduced leave schedule.

Here's the link for the page that lists different sections of FMLA [url]http://www.dol.gov/dol/allcfr/ESA/Title_29/Part_825/Subpart_B.htm[/url]
