1250 hours or 12 months?

dwf · May 2001

Is it true that an employee who has worked 1250 hours but not 12 months, is eligible for FMLA if early in their leave they reach the 12 month requirement?

An employee must have been employed 12 months by the company with 1,250 hours of service in the preceeding 12 months. For instance, a part-time employee may have been employed 12 months, but may not have worked 1,250 hours during that 12 months. Therefore, he/she would not be eligible for FMLA.

No. The employee must have been employed for at least one year and have worked at least 1250 hours. It is not an "either" approach to satisfying the requirement to be eligible for FMLA.
