Legal Question in Medical Leave in Ohio

Re: Not Eligible at the Time of Leave

If an employee is maintained on the payroll for any part of a week, including periods of paid or unpaid leave during which other benefits or compensation are provided by the employer (e.g., group health plan benefits, workers' compensation benefits, etc.), the week counts as a week of employment for purposes of the 12-month eligibility test. However, the employee must also have worked at least 1250 hours in that 12-month period and for the purpose of the 1250-hour eligibility test, only actual hours worked are counted.
