SECTION 1: Module 1 - Leave Management Overview and FMLA
Fundamentals
Q1-20 | Program Design, Eligibility, Employee Rights, Employer Obligations, & Qualifying Reasons
Q1: Maria has worked for ABC Corporation as a part-time receptionist for 14 months,
averaging 22 hours per week. She requests FMLA leave to care for her mother who is
undergoing chemotherapy. Which determination is correct regarding Maria's FMLA eligibility?
A. Maria is eligible because she has worked more than 12 months and has a qualifying reason
B. Maria is not eligible because she has not accumulated 1,250 hours of service in the preceding
12-month period [CORRECT]
C. Maria is eligible because part-time employees are automatically covered after 12 months
D. Maria is not eligible because part-time employees cannot qualify for FMLA leave
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: FMLA eligibility requires three cumulative elements: (1) at least 12 months of employment with the
employer, (2) at least 1,250 hours of service during the 12-month period immediately preceding the leave, and (3)
work at a worksite where the employer employs 50 or more employees within a 75-mile radius. At 22 hours per week
for 14 months, Maria has accumulated approximately 1,232 hours, falling short of the 1,250-hour threshold. Option
A ignores the hours requirement. Option C incorrectly assumes hours are not relevant for part-time employees.
Option D is incorrect because part-time employees can qualify if they meet all three eligibility criteria. The hours
requirement is calculated based on actual hours worked, not FTE status, and overtime counts toward the total.
