Assume that the employee used 4 weeks of FMLA in April 2020, and 4 weeks in May 2020 for a total of 8 weeks over that 12-month period.The look-back period for the request goes back to March 1, 2020.Employee requests to begin an FMLA qualifying leave on March 1, 2021.Under this method, the "rolling" 12-month period is measured backward from the date of an employee’s first use of FMLA leave for a given qualifying event. "Rolling" method for calculating the FMLA period As of January 1, 2021, MIT will use a forward looking method to determine the 12 weeks of FMLA eligibility. In determining the 12 week limit, MIT has used a “rolling” method to look backwards at prior FMLA leaves during the past year. The FMLA permits different methods to calculate when an employee reaches that 12 week limit. If you need a disability-related accommodation to access the materials below, please email the FMLA, an employee may use 12 weeks of unpaid leave within a year for certain family and medical leaves. MIT is committed to providing an environment that is accessible and inclusive for individuals with disabilities. See 's Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML) fact sheet.
