Legal Question in Medical Leave in Florida
FMLA requirements
My employer accepted documentation for my son's health condition which stated I would need intermittent leave to care for him. I was allowed to take approximatly 250 hours of leave as FMLA. After use of this leave I attempted to use leave for my son's illness, and was denied based on the requirement of 1250 hours worked in the previous year. My employer calculates worked hours from each individual absence of intermittent leave. They say that I qualifed When he first got sick, but no longer qualify. Is this correct?

Re: FMLA requirements
Under the FMLA you look at how many hours you have worked in the last 52 weeks and how much FMLA leave you have taken in the last 52 weeks to determine if you are eligible for leave. The requirement is that you must work 1250 hours in the last 52 weeks, not the last calendar year. I hope that information helps.
