The federal FMLA allows how many workweeks for all leaves and qualified relationships?

10 workweeks
12 workweeks
16 workweeks
26 workweeks

The correct answer is: 12 workweeks

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides eligible employees with up to 12 workweeks of unpaid leave during any 12-month period for specific family and medical reasons. This includes instances such as the birth and care of a newborn, adoption, personal medical conditions, or caring for a family member with a serious health condition. The reason that this option is correct lies in the structure of the FMLA, which specifically outlines these 12 workweeks as the maximum entitlement for eligible employees. This provision is crucial for ensuring that employees can take necessary leave without the risk of losing their job or health benefits during significant life events. The other choices reflect quantities of leave that exceed the established 12 workweeks or are not aligned with the FMLA guidelines, thus making them inaccurate within the context of this federal law. Employees should be aware of this standard to accurately understand their rights under FMLA.
