Question

In order to obtain leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act, an employee whose need for a leave is foreseeable must advise the employer of that need at least _______ days prior to the anticipated date on which the leave needs to begin or as soon as practicable.

Answer 1

Answer:

30

Explanation:

Under the relevant provisions of the Family Medical Leave Act, an employee whose leave requirements for the future are already known to him or which are predictable, should serve a notice for leave in the same regard at least 30 days prior to the expected date from which the leave shall begin.

If such leaves cannot be anticipated 30 days prior, the employee in such a scenario shall serve the notice for leave as soon as possible i.e the moment the leaves are anticipated. The term associated with above being, "as soon as practicable".
