For what additional events may employers and employees agree to use qualifying exigency leave?
Employers and employees may agree to cover any additional events arising from the covered military member’s active duty or call to active duty status as qualifying exigency leave. Such events may include leave to spend time with a covered military member either prior to or post deployment, or to attend to household emergencies that would normally have been handled by the covered military member. Employers and employees must agree to both the timing and duration of any such qualifying exigency leave and the leave may be counted against the employee’s 12 week FMLA leave entitlement.
