What Is Intermittent FMLA Leave?
Intermittent FMLA is designed to help eligible employees manage work while dealing with serious medical or family-related needs. Under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), you can take job-protected leave in smaller increments — like a few hours or a day at a time — or temporarily switch to a reduced work schedule instead of taking all leave at once.
This is especially useful if you’re dealing with a condition that’s ongoing or unpredictable, need recurring treatments, or need time to support a family member — all while maintaining job protection and peace of mind.
Eligibility for Intermittent FMLA
To qualify for intermittent leave under FMLA, you must:
Work for an employer with 50+ employees
Have been employed for at least 12 months
Have worked at least 1,250 hours over the past 12 months
Have a qualifying reason supported by medical certification
Common Reasons To Use Intermittent FMLA Leave
Online Medical Certificates
Mental Health Support
Intermittent leave can be used to help manage mental health conditions such as:
Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)
Major depressive disorder
ADHD, PTSD, OCD
Postpartum anxiety or depression
Eating disorders
It allows you to take time off for therapy, appointments, medication management, or difficult symptom days — without needing to take a long leave of absence.

Chronic or Recurring Physical Conditions
If you’re dealing with an ongoing medical condition that requires regular treatment or periodic flare-ups, intermittent leave can help. Common examples include:
Chronic migraines
Chronic lower back pain
Diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure), heart disease, and other chronic/endocrine conditions
This gives you protected time for doctor visits, treatment sessions, and days when symptoms interfere with work.

Caring for a Loved One
Intermittent FMLA can also be used to care for a family member who needs ongoing medical support, including situations like:
Chemotherapy or infusion appointments
Recovery after surgery
Long-term condition management
Pregnancy, Postpartum & Childcare Needs
Intermittent leave may apply for pregnancy-related needs and childcare situations such as:
Prenatal appointments and pregnancy complications
Partial recovery following childbirth
Post-birth or post-adoption medical and caregiving needs
Any Condition That Impacts Your Ability to Work Consistently
If a serious health condition makes it difficult to maintain a reliable work schedule, intermittent leave can provide the flexibility you need — so you can manage your health or caregiving responsibilities without risking your job.

Intermittent Leave vs. Continuous Leave
The biggest difference between intermittent leave and continuous leave is how the time off is taken.
Continuous leave – one uninterrupted stretch away from work
Intermittent leave – time off in smaller blocks (hours/days) or temporarily reduced hours
Intermittent leave is commonly used for recurring doctor visits, unpredictable symptoms, ongoing treatments, or helping a family member who needs periodic care. It allows you to keep working while still prioritizing your health and responsibilities at home.
