DESCRIPTION
An employer covered by FMLA is any person or entity engaged in commerce or in any industry or activity affecting commerce that employs 50 or more employees for each working day during each of 20 or more calendar workweeks in the current or preceding calendar year.
This checklist serves as a basic tool for an employer’s determination and administration of FMLA leave for an employee under the federal law and regulations.
