    IMPORTANT: Anytime employees are missing work for more than three (3) days due to their own serious health condition, to care for a family member's serious health condition, or for a military leave, they are likely eligible for leave through federal and/or state law that provides employees with certain job protections.  In these cases, employees are directed to contact FMLASource to open a request for leave.
