Legal Question in Medical Leave in District of Columbia
Does State FMLA law supercede Federal law?
Are employees in the District of Columbia entitled to the FMLA of DC (16 weeks every 24 months) in addition to or instead of the Federal FMLA of 12 weeks a year after working 1250 hours?

Re: Does State FMLA law supercede Federal law?
My interpretation is that a DC employee would not be entitled to claim benefits under both Family & Medical Leave Programs(FMLA)programs but would normally elect to claim under the DC FMLA program since it is, apparently, somewhat more generous than the federal FMLA program in its rules and requirements.
