Do employees get 12 weeks for each event if they have more than one FMLA-eligible event in a year?
Employees get 12 weeks, regardless of the number of events. For example, I have surgery in January for something and I am out for a month. Later that year, I adopt a child. It is 2 events, but the FMLA obligation is 12 weeks in a rolling year. Remember that nothing happens automatically when the person reaches 12 weeks. It is just a protection under the law and we want to prove that we have complied.
