Legal Question in Medical Leave in Maryland

Re: This concerns FMLA!

Under this federal statute, covered employers must grant an eligible employee up to a total of 12 workweeks of unpaid leave during any 12-month period for one or more of the following reasons:

1. for the birth and care of the newborn child of the employee;

2. for placement with the employee of a son or daughter for adoption or foster care;

3. to care for an immediate family member (spouse, child, or parent) with a serious health condition; or

4. to take medical leave when the employee is unable to work because of a serious health condition.

Your qwuestion does not provide enough information to give you an answer much beyond the above. If you feel you need more you should contact an employment attorney.

Good luck
