The Department of Human Resource Management (DHRM) has updated Policy 4.20 – Family and Medical Leave (FML). Effective January 10, 2023, Policy 4.20 changes the 12-month measurement period from the fixed 12-month period using the Leave Year to a rolling 12-month period.
Historically, FML leave entitlement restarted on January 10th each year—the start of the leave plan year. With the revised policy, calculations for the 480 hours of FML leave entitlement will be based on the date an employee goes out on leave designated as FML.
The amount of Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) leave available to the employee is determined by the amount of FML taken during the previous 12-months. Each time an employee uses FML within the rolling 12-month period, the remaining unused balance of the 480 work hours is adjusted. More information on calculating FML leave entitlements on a rolling 12-month measurement period can be found in the Transition to 12-Month Rolling Period guide provided by DHRM.
