If both husband and wife are UK employees, are they each eligible for 12 weeks of FML per 12 month period?
Sometimes, but not always. When it is for their own serious health condition or for the serious health condition of their spouse or child, they may each take 12 weeks of FML. However, in cases where a husband and wife are employees and employed in the same department, they may be required to share, at the discretion of the department, the 12 week FMLA entitlement for purposes of childbirth and/or adoption/foster care.
