(a) A covered individual may take covered leave on an intermittent or reduced leave schedule in which all of the leave authorized under this chapter is not taken sequentially. Intermittent or reduced leave may be taken only when medically necessary and supported by documentation as required by the certification requirements under § 3702 of this title. Family and medical leave benefits for intermittent or reduced leave schedules must be prorated.
