Can FMLA be extended

Yes, the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) can be extended in certain circumstances. If an employee's serious health condition requires more time than the initial 12 weeks, they may be eligible for additional leave under other laws, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or state-specific leave laws. Additionally, employees can request a leave extension if they have not exhausted their FMLA entitlement and meet the eligibility criteria. It's essential for employees to communicate with their employers about any need for extended leave.
