I have worked for my company for 9 years but only the last 4 months consecutively. Before that I was off for 16 months, a voluntary hiatus. Since I have come back to work I have not worked 1250 hours. Do the 1250 hours needed to qualify for fmla have to be consecutive? Or is it like the time, non-consecutive? I have recently started cancer treatment and would like to take time off for treatment. Thank you

It is 1,250 hours in the past 12 months. It does not have to be all at this employer, but rather, in total, you must have worked at least, 1,250 hours in the last 12 months, which is more or less 25 hours per week for that time.
