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.
