Flexible Work

Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)

• The FLSA can come into play regarding compressed schedules and non-exempt (overtime-eligible) employees. If a non-exempt employee works a compressed schedule, they cannot work more than 40 hours in one week without incurring overtime.

Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)

• The FMLA entitles eligible employees of covered employers to take unpaid, job-protected leave for specified family and medical reasons with continuation of group health insurance coverage under the same terms and conditions as if the employee had not taken leave. 
• Contact benefits@gmu.edu if you have questions about FMLA. 

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

• The university provides reasonable accommodations to individuals with disabilities (upon request) to ensure equal access and opportunity for Mason employees.
