7 of 7 core facts filled in before review.

100% ready

1. Employer type

Public agencies and schools use different coverage framing than private employers.

2. How many employees are relevant to employer coverage?

For private employers, the 50-employee threshold often matters. This factual input is editable because it depends on your situation, not a hidden system assumption.

3. Approximate months worked for this employer

The 12 months do not always need to be consecutive.

I have a break in service or non-consecutive employment historyLeaveCheck will move this module to needs confirmation instead of assuming your prior service does not count.

4. Do you know your actual hours worked in the last 12 months?

5. Hours worked in the previous 12 months

The reference threshold is 1,250 actual hours worked, per U.S. DOL guidance as of February 2025.

6. Work arrangement

Remote and hybrid paths show extra worksite guidance because the home address is not automatically the relevant site.

7. Most likely leave reason

This is a plain-language categorizer, not a legal opinion.
