Rolling 12-Month Period for FMLA Eligibility
My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Louisiana.
I am trying to take FMLA time for a surgery but my company uses the "rolling 12-month period" so I am very confused as to when I will be covered
Here are some details. If more info is need I can try to provide it.
*My company uses the "rolling 12-month period"
*I have been with the company for 10 years
*9/2/11 I took 12 weeks for the birth of my daughter
*7/6/14 I took 9 weeks & 2 days for medical reasons. I returned to work 9/2/15 & have taken no other time since then.
I have a hysterectomy scheduled for June 29, 2015 & will be out for 6 weeks. We have a new HR person who has said she doesn't know for sure so I do not want to get in trouble for taking the time off for the surgery but I also really need to get the surgery done asap. All she can say for certain is that I will have a full 12 weeks beginning 9/10/15 & I can't wait that long. Can someone please tell me if I will be protected under FMLA if 6/29/15 I take off for 6 weeks for the surgery?
