Tracking Reduced and Intermittent F

Tracking Reduced and Intermittent FMLA LeaveAlthough keeping track of the amount of FMLA leave used for a continuous leave is fairly straightforward, ensuring that accurate records of reduced and intermittent FMLA leave are maintained can be more difficult. In either case, only the amount of leave used may be deducted from the 12 weeks available to the employee. For example, an employee whose regular work schedule of 40 hours per week is reduced to 20 hours per week would be charged one-half week of FMLA leave for each week that they work the reduced schedule.For intermittent leave, employers may charge for leave in increments of not less than 1 hour. Employees should provide at least 2 days’ notice of the need to use the intermittent leave whenever possible.
