FMLA

Family Medical Leave Act

Abilene grants leave without pay to eligible employees for up to 12 weeks in a 12 month period.  FMLA leave is a guaranteed period of time eligible employees can be absent from work with job protection.  The time-off is not paid unless the employee is taking vacation or sick/personal time concurrently with FMLA leave.

TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR FMLA LEAVE AN EMPLOYEE MUST HAVE WORKED FOR ABILENE FOR AT LEAST ONE (1) YEAR AND PERFORMED AT LEAST 1,250 HOURS OF WORK DURING THE PREVIOUS TWELVE (12) MONTHS.
