Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Situations requiring medical attention, such as a serious health condition, may prompt an employee to submit this form. By doing so, they can secure up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave to focus on recovery without the fear of losing their employment.
  • For those caring for a sick family member, this form is essential to request leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act. It allows employees to take time off to provide necessary care and support, ensuring family obligations are met without job loss.
  • Employees who need to attend to their own health issues or those of immediate family members can utilize this form to formally request leave. This process helps maintain job security while addressing critical health matters.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate for employees seeking paid leave benefits, as it specifically addresses unpaid leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act. Employees looking for paid leave should consult their employer's policies on paid time off.
  • – In situations where the leave is not related to family or medical reasons, such as personal vacations or elective procedures, this form should not be used. Employees should follow their employer's standard leave request procedures for such cases.
  • – If an employee has not met the eligibility requirements, such as the minimum hours worked or tenure, they should refrain from using this form. Instead, they should explore other leave options available through their employer.
  • – This form is not suitable for employees who are seeking leave for reasons that do not qualify under the Family and Medical Leave Act, such as attending a wedding or personal events. Those situations require different leave request processes.
  • – Employees who are not covered by the Family and Medical Leave Act, such as those working for smaller employers not subject to the law, should not use this form. They should check with their employer for alternative leave options.
