Can employees take FMLA leave intermittently or on a reduced schedule?

Yes. Eligible employees may take intermittent FMLA leave or work a reduced schedule over a 12-month period for any qualifying FMLA reason.
Leave must be recorded in increments no larger than the shortest time used for other types of leave (not more than one hour). Employees’ FMLA entitlement is only reduced by the actual amount of leave taken.
