I'm getting conflicting information. My union is saying everyone gets 480 hours (12 weeks at 40 hours per week) of fmla leave per year no matter what, There is no exception to the rule. Quite a few articles online are stating fmla hours are calculated by how many hours per week you are scheduled to work for 12 weeks. For example I am scheduled 56 hours per week to work. According to the websites I'd do 12 x 56 which would equal 672 allowed hours, vs 40 hours per week giving my 480 hours
I called the department of labor and he is saying he only sees 480 hours maximum , but will double check with colleagues to be sure and call me back. Is there anyone who has experience or knowledge with this that has the correct answer? Had a rough year with baby being born and wife having issues and I went over the 480 hours. I used 540 hours for the year. Would I be ok since I am scheduled 56 hour weeks?
