FMLA Rules

Most employers are required to offer their eligible employees up to 12 weeks of unpaid FMLA leave per 12-month period. This leave is intended to be used for family or medical purposes. If two spouses work for the same employer, their combined FMLA leave entitlement is only 12 weeks.

Employees will be eligible for FMLA leave in the TimeForce II system if they:

• Have worked for the employer for at least 12 months (non-consecutive)
• Have worked a minimum of 1250 hours in the past 12 months

A  new absence code that is dedicated for use with FMLA absences must be created in the system.

The "Reports" section of the program allows you to view and print information on qualified employees and used FMLA absence hours.
