FMLA - "eligible employee" - length of employment

Flannery v. Nextgen Healthcare - ED Pa. - August 10, 2006

Plaintiff was not an "eligible employee" under the FMLA, 29 USC 2612(a), since he had not been employed at least 12 months at the time his leave began. "[A]t least one year must span the period between the date when the employee was hired and when the medical leave begins."
