Federal + Texas

FMLA and Texas leave law, tracked for you.

Sentinel runs federal FMLA and Texas-specific leave law as one engine. Every deadline calculated, every notice generated, every case audit-ready — for HR teams without a legal department.

What Sentinel handles in Texas

Federal FMLA + Texas overlay run side-by-side. No spreadsheet handoffs. No "we'll figure that one out manually."

Federal FMLA

12-week entitlement math

Rolling 12-month lookback, shift-aware hours math (per DOL FMLA2025-02-A), eligibility check on day 1 of notice, designation deadlines in business days per 29 CFR 825.300(d)(4).

Texas state law

State-specific overlay

No state PFML program. Federal FMLA only.

Final pay: 6 days for terminated employees; next regular payday for resignations (Tex. Lab. Code § 61.014)

Audit-ready by default

DOL export in one click

Every case generates 12 documents per 29 CFR 825.500 retention requirements. If Texas HR gets a DOL inquiry, the file is one button.

Personal liability shield

Haybarger-proof

HR managers can be personally sued under FMLA (Haybarger v. Lawrence County, 3d Cir. 2012). Sentinel keeps your name off the deposition list by closing every gap your manual process would miss.
