FMLA: Definition for Field Workforce HR

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides eligible employees unpaid, job-protected leave — HR tracks field attendance separately from approved FMLA absences using shift and PTO records.

Definition

FMLA entitles eligible employees to up to 12 weeks unpaid leave for qualifying family/medical reasons with job protection.

Field HR note

GPS attendance distinguishes approved leave from unexplained no-shows on scheduled route days.
