Harris is not required to grant the leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) because Salim has worked for Firewood Heavy Equipment for less than 12 months. To be covered under the FMLA, employees must have worked for their employer for at least one year and for at least 1,250 hours during the 12 months preceding the time off. They must also give the employer at least 30 days' notice when practical.
