Author: Susie Wine, Littler

When to Use

This form may be used to inform employees of their eligibility for, and rights and responsibilities under, the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the Miami-Dade County family and medical leave law. Under the FMLA, the employer must notify the employee whether they are eligible for FMLA leave within five business days of the employee's request. Each time an employer must provide the eligibility notice to an employee, it must also provide an FMLA rights and responsibilities notice.

Employer coverage under these laws is as follows:

• The FMLA covers employers that employ 50 or more employees in 20 or more workweeks in the current or preceding calendar year and that are engaged in commerce or in any industry or activity affecting commerce.
• The Miami-Dade County family and medical leave law applies to any employer that in the regular course of business has 50 or more employees working in Miami-Dade County for each working day during each of the 20 or more calendar workweeks in the current or preceding calendar year.
