Frequently Asked Questions

This form is designed to help employees formally request unpaid and job-protected leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act for specific family and medical reasons.

Eligibility typically includes employees who have worked for their employer for at least 12 months and have logged a minimum of 1,250 hours of service during the past year.

Common reasons include the birth or adoption of a child, serious health conditions affecting the employee or a family member, and situations requiring care for a family member.

Eligible employees can take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave within a 12-month period for qualifying reasons.

If your request is denied, you can seek clarification from your employer regarding the decision and consider discussing your situation with a legal professional for further guidance.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate for employees seeking paid leave, as it specifically pertains to unpaid leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act. If paid leave options are available, employees should explore those alternatives.
  • – Situations where the leave request does not meet the criteria outlined in the Family and Medical Leave Act should not utilize this form. For instance, leave for personal reasons unrelated to family or medical issues would not qualify.

  • – This form should not be used for short-term absences that do not qualify as serious health conditions or family emergencies. For brief illnesses or personal days, different procedures may apply.
  • – In cases where the employer does not fall under the jurisdiction of the Family and Medical Leave Act, this form is not applicable. Employees should check their employer's leave policies for guidance.
