P Managers’ Checklist Is the Employee Eligible for FMLA Leave? o There are 50 or more employees working within 75 miles of the leave-seeking employee’s worksite. o I counted telecommuting or other employees not physically present at the worksite where they report or where they receive work assignments. o I measured the 75-mile radius based on the most direct surface travel routes, like roads, highways, and waterways. o I counted all buildings within a reasonable geographic vicinity as a single worksite and measured the 75-mile radius from those buildings. o The employee worked for the company for at least 12 months (or 52 weeks) prior to the first day of the requested leave. o I counted the employee as working in any week when the employee was on company payroll, even if the employee worked intermittently or part time. o I counted the employee as working in any week when the employee was on leave and getting pay or benefits from my company. o I did not count the employee as working in any week when the employee was suspended or should otherwise have been working but wasn’t. o Company records show that the employee worked at least 1,250 hours in the 12 months prior to the first day of the requested leave. o I counted only the hours that the employee actually worked, whether paid or not. o Because my company does not count time on leave when calculating hours for overtime pay purposes, I did not count any hours that the employee was on leave.
