What Is Intermittent FMLA Leave?
Intermittent FMLA is a flexible way for eligible employees to balance work responsibilities with serious health or family needs. Under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), you can take protected time off in smaller blocks, such as hours or days at a time or temporarily work a reduced schedule instead of taking leave all at once. This option is especially helpful for managing ongoing or unpredictable medical conditions, attending periodic treatments, or caring for a loved one, while maintaining job protection and peace of mind.
Eligibility for Intermittent Leave
To be eligible for intermittent leave under FMLA, employees must:
- Work for an employer with 50 or more employees
- Have worked for the employer for at least 12 months
- Have completed 1,250 hours of work in the past 12 months
- Have a qualifying reason supported by medical certification

Intermittent Leave vs. Continuous Leave
The key difference between intermittent and continuous leave is flexibility.
Continuous leave involves an uninterrupted period away from work
Intermittent leave allows time off in smaller increments or through reduced hours
For example, intermittent leave may be used to attend recurring medical appointments, manage episodic symptoms, or care for a family member who needs periodic assistance. This structure allows employees to remain engaged at work while addressing health or caregiving needs.

- Turn in the completed intermittent FMLA certification form
Employers are required to:
