FAMILY & MEDICAL LEAVE ACT (FMLA)
The Family & Medical Leave Act provides eligible District employees up to 12 weeks of leave with insurance benefits per FMLA year when the employee or a covered family member experiences a "serious health condition" or when an employee requests time to bond with a child after the child's birth, adoption or foster care. There are state and federal versions of the FMLA to consider. Employees must have worked in the District for at least 12 months and have worked at least 1,000 hours to qualify for WFMLA and 1,250 hours for FMLA during the year immediately preceding the effective date of the leave.
