Important Update to FMLA Leave Calculation Method

We would like to inform employees of an upcoming change to the District’s Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) leave calculation method.

Effective July, 27, 2026, the District will transition from using a fixed 12-month calendar method to a rolling 12-month period from the date FMLA leave is used.

Under the rolling 12-month method, each time an employee uses FMLA leave, the District will look back 12 months to determine how much FMLA leave has already been used and how much remains available. This method is permitted under federal FMLA regulations and is intended to provide a more consistent and equitable administration of leave benefits.

This change may affect how available FMLA leave is calculated for employees who have previously used FMLA leave within the prior 12 months.

If you have questions regarding your FMLA eligibility or available leave balances, please contact Human Resources at leaves@jordandistrict.org or 801-567-8429.
