The law contains provisions on employer coverage; employee eligibility for the law's benefits; entitlement to leave, maintenance of health benefits during leave, and job restoration after leave; notice and certification of the need for FMLA leave; and protection for employees who request or take FMLA leave. The law also requires employers to keep certain records. EMPLOYER COVERAGE FMLA applies to all: • Public agencies, including state, local and federal employers, local education agencies (schools) and • Private -sector employers who employed 50 or more employees in 20 or more workweeks in the current or preceding calendar year and who are engaged in commerce or in any industry or activity affecting commerce including joint employers and successors of covered employers. EMPLOYEE „ELIGIBILITY To be eligible for FMLA benefits, an employee must: • Work for a covered employer; • Have worked for the employer for a total of 12 months; • Have worked at least 1,250 hours over the previous 12 months; and • Work at a location in the United States or in any territory or possession of the United States where at least 50 employees are employed by the employer within 75 miles. LEAVE ENTITLEMENT ff A covered employer must grant an eligible employee up to a total of 12 workweeks of unpaid leave during any 12 -month period for one or more of the following reasons: • For the birth and care of the newborn child of the employee; • For placement with the employee of a son or daughter for adoption or foster care; • To care far an immediate family member (spouse, child, or parent) with a serious health condition; or • To take medical leave when the employee is unable to work because of a serious health condition. Spouses employed by the same employer are jointly entitled to a combined total of 12 work -weeks of family leave for the birth and care of the newborn child, for placement of a child for adoption or foster care and to care for a parent who has a serious health condition. Leave for birth and care, or placement for adoption or foster care must conclude within 12 months of the birth or placement. Under some circumstances, employees may take FMLA leave intermittently -- which means taking leave in blocks of time, or by reducing their normal weekly or daily work schedule. If FMLA leave is for birth and care or placement for adoption or foster care, use of intermittent leave is subject to the employer's approval. MLA leave may be taken intermittently whenever medically necessary to care for a seriously ill family member, or because the employee is seriously ill and unable to work. Also, subject to certain conditions, employees or employers may choose to use accrued paid leave (such as sick or vacation leave) to cover some or all of the FMLA leave. The employer is responsible for designating if an employee's use of paid leave counts as FMLA leave, based on information from the employee_ "Serious health condition" means an illness, injury, impairment, or physical or mental condition that involves either: 1.

MAINTENANCE OF HEALTH BENEFITS A covered employer is required to maintain group health insurance coverage for an employee on FMLA leave whenever such insurance was provided before the leave was taken and on the same terms as if the employee had continued to work. If applicable, arrangements will need to be made for employees to pay their share of health insurance premiums while an leave. In some instances, the employer may recover premiums it has paid to maintain health coverage for an employee who fails to return to work from FMLA leave. JOB RESTORATION Upon return from FMLA leave, an employee must be restored to the employee's original job, or to an equivalent job with equivalent pay, benefits and other terms and conditions of employment. In addition, ars employee's use of FMLA leave cannot result in the loss of any employment benefit that the employee earned or was entitled to before using FMLA leave, nor be daunted against the employee under a "no fault" attendance policy. Under specified and limited circumstances where restoration to employment will cause substantial and grievous economic injury to its operations, an employer may refuse to reinstate certain highly_ paid "key" employees after using FML4 leave during which health coverage was maintained. In 23 order to do so„ the employer must: "kef employee is a sala(led "eligible" rmnpN y e who is amongtime highest paid 'tern (Percent of employees within 75 miles of the 'w rk since. NP!

E OTFER PROVISIONS Special rules apply to employees of local education agencies. Generally, these rules provide for FMI-A leave to be taken in blocks of time when intermittent leave is needed or the leave is required nearthe end of a school term. Salaried executive, administrative and professional employees of covered employers who meet the Fair labor Standards Act (FLSA) criteria for exemption from minimum wage and overtime under Regulations, 29 CFR Part 541, do not lose their FLSA-exempt status by using any unpaid FMLA leave. This special exception to the "salary basis" requirements for FLSXs exemption extends only to "eligible" employees` use of leave required by FMLA. The FMLA does not affect any other federal or state law, which prohibits discrimination, nor supersede any state or local law which provides greater family or medical leave protection. Nor does it affect an employer's obligation to provide greater leave rights under a collective bargaining agreement or employment benefit plan. The FMLA also encourages employers to provide more generous leave rights, 25 overview of Federal Equal Opp tLaws, including the ru ms with Disabilities Act, the Equal Pay the Age Discriminiation to Employment The EIEOC einforces the following laws: These lamas prohibit employrwnt discrimination based on race, color, sex® religious, national origin, age, disability and Prohibit retaliation 'tour opposing job discrimination, filing a charge" or participating in proceedings under these laws„ business is covered by the EEOC laws if: All employees, including part-tiirrua and temporary workers" ars counted 'for purposes of determining whether an airrnpl y it has a sUi rut nurnber of employees.

IRCA also prohibits discrimination in hiring and termination based on national origin (as does Title VII) and on citizenship status. IRCA's anti -discrimination provisions are intended to prevent employers from attempting to comply with the Act's work authorization requirements by discriminating against foreign400king or foreign -sounding job applicants. IRCA's anti -discrimination provisions apply to smaller employers than those covered by EEOC -enforced laws. • IRCA's national origin discrimination provisions apply to employers with between 4 and 14 employees (who would not be covered by Title VII). ■ IRCA's citizenship discrimination provisions apply to all employers with at least 4 employees. • IRCA is enforced by the U.S. Department of Justice.
