    a. The Employment Security Department will determine if you are eligible based on the hours you have worked. There are two thresholds for edibility; for payment ONLY, not job protected leave, the employee must have worked 820 hours over the past year. To be eligible for payment AND job protected leave, the employee must have worked 1250 hours over the past year. Depending on your position, there are other factors that could provide job protected leave that may be provided via an applicable collective bargaining agreement. Once you apply for leave, the Leave Department will review your request and provide a detailed explanation of your rights.
