The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) gives us rights to to take time off to care of our medical needs and our family members. 

If you have worked at Washington Gas for 12 months, and have 1,250 hours in those 12 months, you are covered by FMLA.

That means you can take off up to 60 days for a medical issue, to care for a seriously ill family member, or to take care of a new child. Find out more here.
