The only stipulation is that you have worked a full time job and have been with the employer for at least 1 year. If you have 11 months and 29 days, you dont qualify. Thats how strict it is. So if you used FMLA in May and June for 8 weeks, you still have at least another 4 weeks left. This is a nationwide law so you really could go as they cannot deny you and must hold your job.
