    Default How Many Hours Do You Have To Work For FMLA?

    My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Wisconsin

    I have a Workman's comp. injury that my hours off due to my injury are applied to my FMLA hours. For the year 2007, my FMLA hours where used up with the time I had off for my surgery and recovery. I was suspended for three days and then two weeks for the time I missed due to my injury. They then decided I need a note from the Doctor every time I missed work. Which I did for the rest of 2007. They gave me a letter stating I only earned 10 days of FMLA leave for 2008. Which was used up in the begin of the year. Now, I am schedule to have surgery again and out of no where I earned 12-weeks of FMLA to cover my surgery time. How do they figure out your hours earned for FMLA? Are my hour's worked in 2007 for 2008?

    There are several different legal methods of counting the time for FMLA. Without knowing which method your employer is using, we can't tell how much you should have.

    But the answer to your question is, you must work 1,250 hours in the 12 month period your employer uses, AND you must have worked a minimum of 12 months AND your employer must have 50 or more employees within 75 miles of your location AND your condition (or that of your qualified beneficiary) must meet the definition of a serious health condition under the statute.
