29 C.F.R. § 825.203 : Labor — REGULATIONS RELATING TO LABOR — WAGE AND HOUR DIVISION, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR — OTHER LAWS — THE FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE ACT OF 1993 — EMPLOYEE LEAVE ENTITLEMENTS UNDER THE FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE ACT — Scheduling of intermittent or reduced schedule leave

Eligible employees may take FMLA leave on an intermittent or reduced schedule basis when medically necessary due to the serious health condition of a covered family member or the employee or the serious injury or illness of a covered servicemember. See§825.202. Eligible employees may also take FMLA leave on an intermittent or reduced schedule basis when necessary because of a qualifying exigency. If an employee needs leave intermittently or on a reduced leave schedule for planned medical treatment, then the employee must make a reasonable effort to schedule the treatment so as not to disrupt unduly the employer's operations.
