  • What's FMLA? FMLA Explained + What You Need to Know About FMLA
    Today we're answering, "What's FMLA?" FMLA stands for the Family and Medical Leave Act-a law that provides with 12 weeks of unpaid leave each calendar year-without the threat of job loss. FMLA covers things like pregnancy, the birth or adoption of a child, or care of an injured service member. We're walking you through the basics of FMLA in this episode of What's What.
    Welcome to What's What-a video series breaking down career-related terms so that they make sense. The next time someone asks you, "What's that?" You'll know exactly what to say.

    My mother has congestive heart failure and her doctor told me that the time she approved me for is only for when my mom has a doctor's appointment. My mother can't even clean up her own household. It's hard for me to help like I want to because I have my own family to care of also.

    Question. Does my employer, need to forcefully pay me from my available sick and pto hours when I use fmla. I don't want to use that time. I just want to use fmla unpaid when needed.

      If it is in their policies then yes they can require you to use your PTO/Sick time while on FMLA.

    My employer will not qualify me for FMLA to take care of my special needs son because I was on a leave during the pandemic. So, I did not work the hours needed to qualify for a FMLA.
    But, can my employer, American Airlines, deny me even though I did them a favor? AA offered leaves in order to reduced employees getting furloughed in 2020. I took the leave. It also gave me the time off to take care of my special needs son. AA cancelled my leave. I now have to go back to work November 2021, so I need to qualify for a FMLA to be able to take care of my son since I am back to work.
    Are there any exceptions to the law (of needing to work a certain amount of hours a year order to qualify), because we were/are in a pandemic?
    If so, where can I get this documentation?

    "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; [20] but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. [21] For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.,
