Temporary Employees (long term) and FMLA
Are long-term temps with the required number of hours --1250 and a full calendar year of employment prior-- at a company with the required number of employees entitled to apply for FMLA with the temporary agency?

This is a very interesting question. It largely depends on the nature of the employee-employer relationship. You should email me at [email protected] to discuss this further.
