What Is Medical Leave

Medical Leave under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), allows eligible employees certain legal rights for absence up to a total of 12 workweeks (maximum) of unpaid Medical Leave during an applicable 12-month period.

In addition:

  • The medical absence must exceed 3 consecutive work days.
  • The medical absence occurs frequently or sporadically.
  • The medical condition is determined to be a "serious health condition" under FMLA guidelines
