rolling year
Explanation:
What is a rolling year?
A rolling year is any period of 12 consecutive months, i.e. from Dec 1st 2001 to Nov 30 2002. In other words the accumulation of referred business from any one client follows a 12 month period beginning at the first payment.

Effective January 7, 2003, the 12-month period used to track the FMLA entitlement will change from the UF fiscal year to a "rolling" year. This means that an employee's first date of absence for an FMLA-qualifying event will also be the start date of that employee's entitlement year. Each individual employee using FMLA-protected leave will have a different 12-month entitlement period.
