Which employers are covered by the FMLA?

In New Hampshire, the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) applies to employers with at least 50 employees in 20 or more workweeks in a current or previous calendar year. This includes employers in the private sector as well as public agencies, local schools, and public and private universities. Employers with fewer than 50 employees may still be required to comply with the law if they work under a collective bargaining agreement or if their state labor laws require it. New Hampshire also has its own version of the FMLA, which applies to employers with 15 or more employees. Additionally, the FMLA applies to almost all employees who have worked for their employer for at least 12 months and for at least 1250 hours over the last 12 months. However, civil service and certain other employees of the federal government may be exempt. In conclusion, the FMLA applies to a wide variety of employers in New Hampshire, including public agencies, private businesses, and educational institutions with at least 50 employees. It also applies to most employees who have worked for their employer for at least 12 months and 1250 hours in the last 12 months. However, some civil service and other federal employees may be exempt.
