FMLA Leave for Military Families

On Jan. 28, 2008, President Bush signed into law new FMLA leave entitlements for military families. The National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2008 amended the FMLA to provide two types of military family leave for FMLA-eligible employees:

  1. “Qualifying exigency leave” (requirements in certain situations) and
  2. “Military caregiver leave”

Qualifying Exigency Leave

“Qualifying exigency leave” may be taken for any qualifying exigency arising out of the fact that the employee's spouse, son, daughter, or parent is a covered military member on active duty (or has been notified of an impending call or order to active duty) in support of a contingency operation.
