Most federal employees are covered by Title II of FMLA and are subject to regulations issued by the Office of Personnel Management.

  19. FMLA ELIGIBILITY In order to be “eligible” for FMLA leave, an employee must: • be employed by a covered employer; • work at a worksite within 75 miles of which that employer employs at least 50 employees; • must have worked at least 12 months (which do not have to be consecutive) for the employer; and, • must have worked at least 1,250 hours during the 12 months immediately preceding the date of commencement of FMLA leave.

  21. FMLA — Job Restoration • When the employee returns from FMLA leave, the employee is entitled to be restored to the same or an equivalent job. • An equivalent job is one with equivalent pay, benefits, responsibilities, etc. • The employee is not entitled to accrue benefits during periods of unpaid FMLA leave, but must be returned to employment with the same benefits at the same levels as existed when leave commenced.
