The Family Medical Leave Act for eligible caregivers, provides you with
twelve weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave per year for your own personal
medical condition, to care for a family member, and to bond with your
newborn, newly adopted or foster child.
The rules for leaves are determined by state laws, company policies, or
agreements made through collective bargaining. Often, an employer's leave
policy and the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) apply at the same time.
You can take both Federal and state leaves all together or little by little.
Each type of leave has it's own rules for how you can use it.
Whether you can take certain leaves and for how long depends on things
like how much you've worked in the past year, your past leaves, and the
state where you work.
To learn more about your eligibility for leave, visit the resource site
for your state, if applicable.
In accordance with local and state law, you may be eligible for additional
types of paid and/or unpaid medical leave. State and local laws governing
these leaves may be more generous than the FMLA and/or may offer greater
coverage for medical or other similar issues affecting you or your family
members. We encourage you to contact Caregiver Relations or Absence and
Disability Management to determine whether local or state law might provide
additional leave.
Caregivers who work in a state with SDI and/or PFL , are required to apply
for benefits through the state. Short-term disability and/or Paid Family
Leave pay will be reduced by state-administered benefit amounts.
If you work in a state with a state disability insurance (SDI) and/or paid
family leave (PFL) program
Caregivers who work in a state with SDI and/or PFL (CA, OR, WA), are required
