Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) was passed by Congress to
protect employees who cannot attend work for reasons related to
birth, adoption, or serious health conditions. Employees must be
employed by the company for at least 12 months, working at least
1,250 hours within that time period to be eligible. The limit is
12 weeks per year. Baltimore County Public Schools will measure
the 12 month period backwards from the date an employee uses any
FMLA leave.
Employees who are eligible and are in need of FMLA leave must complete
a FMLA application which can be obtained from their school or site
administration office. This application must be completed within
30 days for any foreseeable need.
In accordance with the law, Baltimore County Public Schools will
grant eligible employees up to a total of 12 workweeks of unpaid
leave in a 12 month period for one or more of the following reasons:
- The birth of a child.
- To care for a newborn child.
- The placement with the employee of a child for adoption or foster
care, and to care for the newly placed child.
- To care for an immediate family member with a serious health
condition.
- When the employee is unable to work because of a serious health
condition.
If approved based upon BCPS policies and procedures, an employee
may use his/her accrued paid leave in lieu of unpaid leave. Baltimore
County Public Schools will maintain group health insurance coverage,
including family coverage, for an employee on FMLA leave on the
same terms as if the employee continued to work.
Further information can be obtained by calling the Office
of Personnel.
