How much leave am I entitled to under Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA)?
If you are an eligible employee ( if you have worked for at least a year and have worked at least 1,250 hours in the year leading up to the date you are taking the leave), falling under the FMLA provision, you are entitled to twelve weeks of leave for birth and care of a child, the adoption of a child or placement of a foster child in your care, the care if your spouse, child, or parent who has a serious health condition, or for your own serious health conditions, if it makes you unable to perform your job. The law defines a serious health condition as an illness, injury, impairment, or physical or mental condition that involves inpatient care or continuing treatment by a health care provider.
