What is the minimum amount of hours an employee must have worked in the past year to qualify for FMLA leave?

1,000 hours
1,250 hours
1,500 hours
1,750 hours

The correct answer is: 1,250 hours

To qualify for FMLA (Family and Medical Leave Act) leave, an employee must have worked a minimum of 1,250 hours during the past 12 months. This requirement ensures that the employee has established a sufficient connection and commitment to the employer before benefiting from the protections and provisions provided by FMLA. The 1,250-hour threshold is designed to balance the needs of employees who may require leave for significant personal or family medical reasons with the operational needs of employers. Meeting this minimum also aligns with the federal guidelines set forth in the FMLA regulations. The other options represent hours that are below the established requirement; therefore, they do not comply with the legal stipulation to qualify for FMLA leave. Understanding this requirement is crucial for managing leave and ensuring compliance with employment laws.
