['Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)']
Key definitions
  • Specific variations in leave are defined by the FMLA.

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) has key definitions for specific types of leave. Please note the following key definitions:

Airline flight crew employee: An airline flight crewmember or flight attendant as those terms are defined in regulations of the Federal Aviation Administration.

Continuous leave: Leave taken in continuous full-week increments. An employee, for example, could take continuous leave from April 12 through June 30.

Intermittent leave: Leave taken in separate periods of time due to a single reason, rather than for one continuous period of time, and may include leave of periods from an hour or more to several weeks. Examples of intermittent leave would include leave taken on an occasional basis for medical appointments, or leave taken several days at a time spread over a period of six months, such as for chemotherapy.

Reduced leave schedule: A leave schedule that reduces the usual number of hours per workweek, or hours per workday, of an employee.
