FMLA-Minnesota

Effective January 2026, the Minnesota Paid Family and Medical Leave Act helps provide partial wage replacement for medical leaves, postpartum recovery, and bonding time. You must apply and qualify for Paid Leave.

Our clinic can help with medical documentation once you’ve completed your portion of the documentation and submitted it to our office. You will need to confirm with HR if your employer uses the state program or a private vendor.

Minnesota Paid Leave: Pregnancy + Postpartum + Bonding

What You Need to Know

• Minnesota Paid Family and Medical Leave Act helps to replace part of your paycheck when you need time off for medical needs, recovery after birth, and bonding with your baby/adoptee/foster.
•  You must apply and qualify for a Paid Leave. You apply through the state, not our clinic. To learn more and access the leave request form(s) you need, visit https://pl.mn.gov/toolkits/individuals-and-families-toolkit
• When you apply for Paid Leave, you will need to provide certification document(s) that verify your reason(s) for taking a Paid Leave. If you are requesting a Bonding Leave, the documentation may come from the hospital or our clinic.
• Apply no earlier than 60 days before your leave begins.
• Complete the form(s) that matches the type of leave you are requesting. We will assist with certification for the medical portion of the form.
• If you qualify, you can take up to 12 weeks of Medical Leave (for pregnancy/childbirth
  recovery) and up to 12 weeks of Family Leave (for bonding), with a combined maximum
  of 20 weeks in a benefit year.
• Bonding Leave must be used within 12 months of birth (or adoption/foster placement).
• You will need to submit either a hospital discharge summary or a birth certificate for verification.

Our Clinic Helps You Document Your Paid Leave Request

• Complete the Leave form that matches your request. To learn more or access forms, visit https://pl.mn.gov/toolkits/individuals-and-families-toolkit
• If you are requesting a Bonding Leave, the hospital can help provide this documentation.
• Once you’ve finalized your portion of the form, submit it to our clinic in one of three
  ways:
  o Bring your printed form to your provider or the front desk at your clinic
  o Submit your paperwork in the portal after you have completed your portion of the form
  o Email it to your clinic: OBGYN West: medicalrecords@obgynwest.net
• Once our team receives your form AND the documentation is final, we will review and process it within 15 business days.
• You will need to view processed documentation on a computer or laptop due to encryption; do not try to view on your mobile phone.
• Our team will certify six weeks for vaginal delivery and eight weeks for C-section. Requests for Bonding Leaves cannot be requested or approved until after the baby is born. Apply no earlier than 60 days before your leave begins.
• For eligibility, pay details, and job protection at your workplace, your HR team and the state program are the best resources.
