Time Off and Leaves of Absence
Family Medical Leave Act

Overview

The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) requires Travelers to provide up to 12 weeks or 480 hours (for eligible full-time employees) of unpaid, job-protected leave for certain family and medical reasons.

FMLA may be taken in either intermittent or consecutive lengths of time.

  • Intermittent FMLA requires an employee to be out of the office periodically for short periods of time with unknown onsets.
  • Continuous FMLA is continuous in nature with a duration of at least five days, and in most cases, has a known start and end date.
