Bill Summary
A BILL To amend the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 to allow all leave to be taken on an intermittent schedule.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Flexible Leave Act," proposes to amend the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) to allow employees to take all types of leave under the FMLA on an intermittent schedule or a reduced leave schedule. Currently, the FMLA allows for intermittent leave in certain circumstances, but this bill would expand that flexibility to all qualifying reasons for leave, such as serious health conditions of the employee or a family member, or for the birth or adoption of a child. Intermittent leave means taking leave in short blocks of time, rather than all at once, and a reduced leave schedule means working fewer hours per day or week. The bill also removes a specific certification requirement related to intermittent leave, simplifying the process for employees seeking to use this type of leave.
