Legal Question in Medical Leave in Virginia

Time period

I believe that once qualified that FMLA lasts 13 weeks a year, can a company set the time period of your leave to be less than that? The company I work recently started making employees re-qualify every month for the same condition that had orginally been already qualified. Is that ok for them to do?

Re: Time period

The period for FMLA leave is 12 weeks per year.

Regarding the second part of your question as to "requalifying", I simply don't understand it.

An employee either meets the statutory conditions, and, therefore, "qualifies" for FMLA leave, or does not.
