How do you determine the amount of FMLA qualifying leave used if an employee works a fixed part-time schedule or the employees schedule varies from week to week?
The amount of FMLA qualifying leave is determined on a prorata basis by comparing the requested schedule with the employee’s normal schedule. Where the schedule varies from week to week, a weekly average of the hours worked over the 12 weeks prior to the beginning of the leave period is used to calculate the employee’s normal workweek.
