PART 825_THE FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE ACT OF 1993--Table of Contents
 
 Subpart B_What Leave Is an Employee Entitled to Take Under the Family 
                         and Medical Leave Act?
 
Sec. 825.201  If leave is taken for the birth of a child, or for 

placement of a child for adoption or foster care, when must the 
leave be concluded?

    An employee's entitlement to leave for a birth or placement for 
adoption or foster care expires at the end of the 12-month period 
beginning on the date of the birth or placement, unless state law 
allows, or the employer permits, leave to be taken for a longer period. 
Any such FMLA leave must be concluded within this one-year period. 
However, see Sec. 825.701 regarding non-FMLA leave which may be 
available under applicable State laws.
