Tips For Tracking FMLA Intermittent Leave

3/5/2026

Below are some tips for tracking FMLA Intermittent Leave:

• Time off must be tracked in the smallest increment of time used by the payroll system (e.g., 15 minutes, 1 hour).
• Keep detailed records of time used to ensure the total leave taken doesn't exceed the 12-week entitlement (or 26 weeks for military caregiver leave). This is a critical part of FMLA compliance.
