functions of his or her job;
- any qualifying exigency arising out of the fact that the employee鈥檚 spouse, son, daughter,
or parent is a covered military member on 鈥渃overed active duty;鈥� or
- Twenty-six workweeks of leave during a single 12-month period to care for a covered
servicemember with a serious injury or illness if the eligible employee is the servicemember鈥檚
