COVERED EMPLOYERSThe FMLA only applies to employers that meet certain criteria. A covered employer
is a:

• Private-sector employer, with 50 or more employees in 20 or more workweeks in the current or preceding calendar year, including a joint employer or successor in interest to a covered employer;
• Public agency, including a local, state, or Federal government agency, regardless of the number of employees it employs; or
• Public or private elementary or secondary school, regardless of the number of employees it employs.

ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEESOnly eligible employees are entitled to take FMLA leave.
An eligible employee is one who:

• Works for a covered employer;
• Has worked for the employer for at least 12 months;
• Has at least 1,250 hours of service for the employer during the 12 month period immediately preceding the leave*; and
