When an employee requests FMLA leave, the employer must notify the employee of his or her eligibility to take leave, and inform the employee of their rights and responsibilities under the FMLA. When the employer has enough information to determine that leave is being taken for a FMLA-qualifying reason, the employer must notify the employee that the leave is designated and will be counted as FMLA
