How much FMLA leave may I take for qualifying exigencies?

Employees may take up to 12 work weeks of FMLA leave for qualifying exigencies during the twelve-month period established by the employer for FMLA leave. Qualifying exigency leave may also be taken on an intermittent or reduced leave schedule basis. 


See the Family and Medical Leave of Absence Policy for more information. Leaves of Absence are managed by the Records Administration Department. To learn more, see FAQs or get contact information, click here.
