How many hours must a temporary worker have worked in the preceding 12 months to qualify for FMLA leave?

500 hours
1,000 hours
1,250 hours
800 hours

The correct answer is: 1,250 hours

To qualify for FMLA (Family and Medical Leave Act) leave, a temporary worker must have worked at least 1,250 hours in the preceding 12 months. This requirement is in place to ensure that employees have a significant level of engagement and attachment to their employer before being eligible for the benefits provided under FMLA. The 1,250 hours threshold is significant as it reflects a full-time workload over the course of a year, which helps to establish a basis for job retention and ensures that employees who take leave have been consistently contributing to the workplace. This metric also balances the need for employee protection with the operational needs of employers. This alignment with full-time work hours indicates that while the worker is classified as temporary, they need a certain degree of work history with the employer to support their entitlement to job-protected leave for qualifying events such as serious health conditions, caring for a family member, or certain family events.
