The above holiday schedule is subject to change. Family and Medical Leave Act LHD complies with all applicable federal and state labor and employment laws, including the federal Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA). Under the FMLA, eligible employees are entitled to certain rights, and have certain obligations, with respect to unpaid leave for certain family and medical reasons. The purpose of this policy is to provide employees with a general description of their FMLA rights. In the event of any conflict between this policy and the applicable law, employees will be afforded all rights required by law. If you have any questions, concerns, or disputes with this policy, please contact Human Resources. ELIGIBILITY To be eligible for FMLA leave, you must: have worked at least twelve (12) months for the Company in the preceding seven years (limited exceptions apply to the seven-year requirement); have worked at least 1,250 hours for the Company over the 12 months preceding the date your leave would commence; and currently work at a location where there are at least fifty (50) employees within 75 miles. The 12 months that an employee must have been employed by the Company to be eligible for FMLA leave need not be consecutive. Except in certain limited circumstances relating to military leave, any period of employment with the Company prior to a break in service of seven years or more will not be counted in computing the 12 months’ service requirement.
