To amend the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 to allow all leave to be taken on an intermittent schedule.

H.R. 7505 proposes to amend the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 to change how employees can use their leave entitlements. Currently, the law allows some types of leave to be taken intermittently (in smaller increments spread over time), but this bill would expand that flexibility to permit all leave under the act to be taken on an intermittent schedule. This means employees could potentially use their protected leave time in smaller portions as needed rather than being required to take extended continuous periods away from work. If enacted, this change could provide workers with greater flexibility in managing medical appointments, caregiving responsibilities, and other qualifying needs while maintaining their employment and benefits. The bill was introduced in February 2026 and is currently under committee consideration.
