Questions & Answers
-
What is FMLA?
FMLA is a federal law, which provides employees up to 12 weeks of job-protected leave for qualified family and medical-related reasons.
-
What are the requirements to be eligible for FMLA?
To be eligible, an employee has to have worked at least 1250 hours within the last 12 months AND has to have worked at least 12 months' total time for Midland ISD.
-
Is FMLA additional paid leave?
No. FMLA does not provide additional leave (or days) which you can draw from and use. An employee that is approved for FMLA must use all available leave during their absence. District Policy requires employees to use their own vacation, state, local, and compensatory leave while you are on FMLA leave.
-
What if I do not have available leave?
If an employee does not have any available leave, then the days will be coded as "Leave Without Pay" during the employee's approved FMLA leave absences.
-
Can I take FMLA leave intermittently?
Yes, the leave can be all at once or intermittent, even 2 or 3 hours at a time, but intermittent leave all goes toward the 12-week (480 hour) limit.
