Family Medical Leave Act

FMLA Military Leave

Service Member Leave: Eligible employees are entitled to receive up to 26 work weeks of leave in a 12 month period to care for an Armed Forces family member who has a serious injury or illness incurred while in active duty.

Qualifying Exigency Leave: Twelve weeks of leave will be available to qualifying employees whose family member is called to active duty or is currently serving in active duty.  No illness or injury is required under the Exigency Leave provision.  This particular leave is not yet effective until the Secretary of Labor issues final rules; however, departments are encouraged to evaluate these employee leave interests/needs with HR Senior Leadership and FSDS staff.
