Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) Poster | U.S. Department of Labor

Summary: This official U.S. Department of Labor poster (WH1420, Rev. 04/23) summarizes the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), detailing eligibility requirements, leave entitlements, and employer obligations.

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides eligible employees with up to 12 workweeks of job-protected, unpaid leave in a 12-month period for qualifying family and medical reasons, or up to 26 workweeks to care for a covered servicemember. This poster outlines the criteria for employee eligibility (12 months of service, 1,250 hours worked, and employer size requirements) and employer obligations, including maintaining health insurance coverage and job restoration. It also provides guidance on how to request leave and how to file a complaint with the Wage and Hour Division (WHD) if rights are violated.
