12 workweeks definition
12 workweeks means twelve weeks of leave based on the employee’s regular schedule. For example, if an employee works 20 hours per workweek, he or she would be eligible to take 12 weeks times 20 hours, for a total of 240 hours of family medical leave.
12 workweeks means the equivalent of 12 of the employee’s normally scheduled workweeks. For eligible employees who work more or less than five days per week, or pursuant to an alternative work schedule, the number of working days that constitute 12 workweeks is calculated on a pro rata or proportional basis.
