Covered employers  must grant an eligible employee up to a total of 12 workweeks of unpaid leave during any 12-
month period for one or more of the following reasons:

    * for the birth and care of the newborn child of the
    employee;

    * for placement with the employee of a son or daughter for
    adoption or foster care;

    * to care for an immediate family member (spouse, child, or
    parent) with a serious health condition; or

    * to take medical leave when the employee is unable to
    work because of a serious health condition.

A "covered employer" is any person engaged in commerce or in any industry or activity affecting commerce, who
employs 50 or more employees for each working day during each of 20 or more calendar workweeks in the
current or preceding calendar year.

An "eligible employee" is a person who (1) has been employed by the employer for at least 12 months, (2) has
been employed for at least 1,250 hours of service during the 12-month period immediately preceding the
commencement of the leave, and (3) Is employed at a worksite where 50 or more employees are employed by the
employer within 75 miles of that worksite.
