Family Medical Leave Information

FMLA Information

  • The Family and Medical Leave Act covers all APS employees. In order to be eligible for FML, the employee must have worked at least 12 months with APS (full- or part-time capacity). This means it is possible for your newly hired teachers to be eligible for FML if they were substitute or hourly employees before becoming full-time employees.


    The employee has to work at least 1,250 hours in the 12 months immediately preceding the need for leave, and have a serious health condition or need to care for an immediate family member (spouse, parents or minor children. In-laws are excluded).


    Eligible employees can take up to 12 weeks (60 days) of job-protected leave for the serious health condition. The leave may be taken in a continuous block (weeks at a time), or intermittent (leave taken as needed for appointments or episodic flare-ups).
