Intermittent FML Leave

< Back to Leave of Absence

When necessary, an Intermittent Family and Medical Leave Act (FML) leave may allow an employee to take increments of time off, documented as frequency and duration, due to a single illness or injury for self and/or a family member.

For example, leave may include periods from an hour at a time, a day at a time or multiple days in a row. A reduced work schedule is one that reduces the usual number of hours per workweek, or hours per workday, of an employee for a specified period of time.

An employee may elect or be required to use accrued sick leave, vacation, compensatory time off to cover the time off in accordance with policy and/or collective bargaining agreements.

To find out whether you’re eligible for FML or what leave options may be available to you for intermittent leave, please contact your Leave of Absence Coordinator for consultation and guidance.
