# FMLA Cases

> Track and manage FMLA cases for employees requiring protected leave — list all cases, view case details, link leave requests, and close cases.

The FMLA Cases page (`/hr/fmla-cases`) lists all Family and Medical Leave Act cases for the organization, rendered by the `FMLACasesList` component.

## Overview

The page renders the `FMLACasesList` component inside a `PageContainer`. The page header shows the title "FMLA Case Management" with a shield icon and the description "Track and manage Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) cases for employees." Clicking a case navigates to the FMLA Case Details page at `/hr/fmla-cases/:id`.

## Who it's for

Requires permission: `hr.fmla.view` (`HR_PERMISSIONS.FMLA_VIEW`).

## Before you start

* You need the `hr.fmla.view` permission.
* FMLA cases are typically created in connection with leave requests.

## Steps

1. Navigate to **HR → FMLA Cases** or go to `/hr/fmla-cases`.
2. Review the list of cases and their statuses.
3. Click a case to open the full case detail.

## Viewing an FMLA case

The FMLA Case Details page (`/hr/fmla-cases/:id`) displays the full record for a single Family and Medical Leave Act case, with options to link leave requests and close the case. Requires permission: `hr.fmla.view` (`HR_PERMISSIONS.FMLA_VIEW`).

The page shows the employee name in a breadcrumb and page subtitle. The `FMLACaseDetail` component renders the full case details. For active cases, users with `hr.leave.manage` permission see a **Link to FMLA** action (via `LinkToFMLADialog`). A **Close Case** button is shown when the case status is `active` (requires no specific permission gate beyond page access). Closing calls `useFMLACaseMutation.closeCase`.

Before you start: you need the `hr.fmla.view` permission to access this page. To link leave requests, you additionally need `hr.leave.manage`.

1. Navigate to **HR → FMLA Cases** and click a case, or go directly to `/hr/fmla-cases/:id`.
2. Review the full case record including employee, dates, and linked leave.
3. If the case is active and you have `hr.leave.manage`, use **Link to FMLA** to associate a leave request.
4. When the case is resolved, click **Close Case** to change the status to closed.
