An employee is eligible for FMLA or CFRA leave if he or she is employed by the employer for at least 12 months prior to the date that the leave commences, employed for at least 1250 hours during the 12-month period prior to the date that the leave commences, and employed at a work site where the employer employs at least 50 employees within a 75-mile radius.
