What is the minimum number of work hours Lisa must have completed to qualify for FMLA leave?

  1. 500 hours

  2. 1,000 hours

  3. 1,250 hours

  4. 1,500 hours

The correct answer is: 1,250 hours

To qualify for Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) leave, an employee must have completed a minimum of 1,250 hours of work during the 12 months preceding the leave period. This requirement ensures that only those employees who have dedicated a significant amount of time to their job are eligible for the protections and benefits offered under the FMLA. The 1,250-hour threshold reflects a commitment to the employer, which justifies the employee's entitlement to take unpaid, job-protected leave for specified family and medical reasons.
