Under the ADA there’s no limit, and there’s no minimum. It’s very different from the Family Medical Leave Act, or the FMLA. Under FMLA an employee’s entitled to up to 12 weeks. Under the ADA there’s no minimum, and there’s no maximum. So what employers have to do is look at what the reason is for the employee taking the leave, look at the requirements of the job and whether or not they can accommodate and allow that person to take leave. It could be a couple of weeks, it could be up to a year depending on the employer, the job, and the employee.

Minneapolis employment law attorney Sara Gullickson McGrane explains how much leave an employee entitled to under the ADA.
