To qualify for FMLA leave, the following three criteria must be met:
1. You must meet certain employment criteria
2. Your employer must meet FMLA coverage criteria
3. You must have a condition that qualifies for FMLA leave.
You only qualify for FMLA leave if ALL THREE criteria are met.
Note: Qualifying for FMLA does not necessarily guarantee that FMLA leave will be approved by your employer.
