Fmla approval hours
 

We need to lower the fmla worked approval hours from 1250 to around 1000 hours worked to accommodate some of the individuals seeking thier fmla as they are falling short of the federal guidelines of the 1250 worked hours due to being absent from work due to many facilities being shut down or liad off due to covid 19. This 1250 hours worked rule is seriously hindering these individuals from receiving the care they need and giving the care thier loved ones need as well. We need to act fast to accommodate these individuals because we are seriously hindering these people's lives and thier ability to juggle work without absence charges and thier fmla right and the care thier entitled to and deserve. Best wishes Eric Jones local 2069
