Request a Family Leave — Due to Anticipated Childbirth
What Is Family Leave

Under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), eligible employees are entitled to certain legal rights for absence up to a total of 12 workweeks (maximum) of unpaid Family Leave during an applicable 12-month period commencing from the birth event date. There is no minimum period of Family Leave. Under corporate policy, Medical and Family Leave are applied separately.

Who Is Eligible

By law, to be eligible for a Family Leave qualifying under FMLA, you must be employed with the Company for at least 12 months and have worked for at least 1,250 hours during the previous 12-month period. However, under current corporate policy, the service requirement has been waived for Family Leave related to an employee’s birth of his/her own child.
