The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) allows you to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave a year to care for yourself or a family member, including a new child. In general, you’re eligible if you’ve worked for Rockwell Automation for a year (with 1,250 hours) and haven’t used your 12 weeks for another reason.

FMLA is an unpaid leave. However, you may choose to take caregiver leave, vacation or holiday pay during your FMLA time. If you decide to use vacation or holiday pay, your HR representative must route a ticket to the time administrator to enter the vacation time in Workday for you. NOTE: If a Company-paid holiday occurs during the FMLA time, you will not be paid for that day. When you return to work, your HR representative or manager must send a request for holiday payout via the Workday ticketing system to payroll.

Caregiver leave provides up to two weeks paid time off to care for family members. Caregiver leave may be used for FMLA-eligible absences to care for eligible family members and runs concurrently with FMLA leave. See the FAQ for additional details.
