This form is an application for Family and Medical Leave. It is to be filled out by an employee who is requesting a leave of absence.
The Florida Employee Application for FMLA is a formal document that employees in the state of Florida must complete in order to request leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). The FMLA is a federal law that allows eligible employees to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave for specified family and medical reasons. The Florida Employee Application for FMLA serves as a written notification to the employer about the employee's need for FMLA leave. This application enables employees to formally request time off for various reasons such as their own serious health condition, the birth or adoption of a child, caring for a spouse, child, or parent with a serious health condition, or qualifying exigencies arising out of a covered family member's military service. The application requires the employee to provide essential details such as their name, employee identification number, department, job title, and contact information. Additionally, the application will ask for the start and end dates of the requested FMLA leave, the reason for the leave, and whether it will be taken consecutively or intermittently. Florida recognizes the federal FMLA provisions; therefore, there is no specific type of Florida Employee Application for FMLA separate from the federal application. However, it is essential for employees to ensure they use the most up-to-date version of the federal application, as it is applicable in Florida and other states.
