Employees may take FMLA leave for their biological children, adopted children, foster children, stepchildren, legal wards, or children for whom employees have day-to-day and financial responsibility. Children must be under age 18 or over age 18 and incapable of self-care because of a physical or mental disability.
If a husband and wife both work for the Company and each wishes to take leave for the birth of a child, adoption or placement of a child in foster care, or to care for a parent with a serious health condition, the husband and wife may only take a combined total of 12 weeks of FMLA leave. If the spouses have taken less than the full 12 weeks of FMLA leave during the 12-month period, they are each entitled to take the difference between 12 weeks and the amount of FMLA leave they took individually due to their own serious health condition, or to care for a child or spouse with a serious health condition.
PRO Resources Corporation designates the 12-month period in which employees may take FMLA leave for these reasons by measuring a "rolling" 12-month period backward from the date employees take any FMLA leave, unless the Worksite Employer has elected a different 12-month calculation period. Please contact the Worksite Employer for more information.
Military Family Leave Entitlement
Eligible employees with a spouse, son, daughter, or parent on active duty or call to active duty status in the National Guard or Reserves in support of a contingency operation may use their 12-week leave entitlement to address certain qualifying exigencies. Qualifying exigencies may include, but are not limited to, attending certain military events, arranging for alternative childcare, addressing certain financial and legal arrangements, attending certain counseling sessions, and attending post-deployment reintegration briefings.
Eligible employees may take up to 26 weeks of military caregiver leave in a single 12-month period to care for a covered service member that is the employee's spouse, child, parent, or next of kin (nearest blood relative).

Aneligibleemployee' is entitled to no more than a combined total of 26 weeks of leave during the single 12-month period defined in this paragraph. No more than a combined total of 12 weeks of this leave may be for a purpose other than military caregiver leave (i,e,, birth, adoption or placement for foster care of a son or daughter; in order to care for a spouse, son or daughter with a serious health condition; for the employee's own serious health condition; or for a service member's qualifying exigency).
A covered service member is a current member of the Armed Forces, including a member of the National Guard or Reserves, who has a serious injury or illness incurred in the line of duty on active duty that may render the service member medically unfit to perform his or her duties for which the service member is undergoing medical treatment, recuperation, or therapy; or is in outpatient status; or is on the temporary disability retired list.
In the event a husband and wife both work for the Company, they are limited to a total of 26 weeks for military family leave with a combined limit of 12 weeks of that leave allowed for any qualifying exigency related to or affected by a family member's call-up or service.
Definition of a Serious Health Condition
A serious health condition is an illness, injury, impairment, or physical or mental condition that involves either an (?Vernight stay in a medical care facility, or continuing treatment by a health care provider for a condition that either prevents the employee from performing the functions of the employee's job, or prevents the qualified family member from participating in school or other daily activities.
Subject to certain conditions, the continuing treatment requirement may be met by a period of incapacity of more than 3 consecutive calendar days combined with at least two visits to a health care provider (the second of which must occur within 30 days of the first day of incapacity), or one visit to a health care provider that occurs within seven days of the onset of the incapacity and a regimen of continuing treatment.
