EE Returned from pregnancy leave, now child needs medical care

Cannon

One of our employees has just returned from having a baby. Now the baby needs medical care. How do I charge the time? Employee has already taken 368 hours with 112 hours left. Since this is a seperate issue, will we need to count the time away beginning at 480 hours or will the employee be allowed only the 112 hours that she has left?

Even though it is a separate incident all that means is that she has to requalify for FMLA. It doesn't give her another 480 hours. All she has is the 112 remaining. However, even though it's going on longer than 12 consecutive weeks, she would be eligible again after one year from the first day she took off to have the baby.

Thank you!!

No problem. Hey, what state is "A?"

But, not necessarily the full 480 hours. You can also run your FMLA on a 52-week rolling period. It would depend on which way you're administering your FMLA.
