12/31/2001: Preliminary Time Before Work May Count Towards Minimum Service Requirement Under FMLA (FindLaw.com)Kosakow v. New Rochelle Radiology Associates, P.C. (2d Cir. 2001). Excerpt: "In order to be eligible for ... FMLA, an employee must work 1250 hours in the twelve months prior to the beginning of his or her medical leave ... Because the [lower] court determined that Kosakow was not entitled to include 38.75 hours she claims she worked during the relevant twelve months by coming in fifteen minutes before her start time each shift, the court held that she failed to reach the 1250 hour requirement."
