Human Resources FAQs

We are adopting a baby and need to leave the Country for the arrangements. Does FMLA cover my absence?

11/30/2021

Yes. If an employee meets the FMLA eligibility requirements, adoption is part of the FMLA bonding policy. Protected bonding may not be taken after the first year that the child arrives into the family. Documentation of the adoption of the child is required for approval of the leave.
