What it does
The Flexible Leave Act would amend the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 to allow all eligible leave—such as for personal serious health conditions or to care for a family member—to be taken on an intermittent or reduced schedule basis, rather than requiring continuous blocks of time. It would remove the current certification requirements for intermittent leave under the FMLA, eliminating the need for employees to provide medical documentation for each instance of intermittent leave taken. The bill affects employees covered by the FMLA and their employers, changing how leave can be structured and administered under federal law.
