Family Medical Leave Act

Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA)

The Family Medical Leave Act of 1993 states that covered employers must grant family - and temporary medical - leave to employees under certain specific circumstances. Eligible employees may take up to a total of 12 work-weeks of unpaid leave during a given 12-month period for one (or more) of the reasons listed below:

• The birth and care of the newborn child of the employee
• Placement with the employee of a son or daughter for adoption or foster care
• To care for an immediate family member (spouse, child, or parent) with a serious health condition
• To take medical leave when the employee is unable to work because of a serious health condition

 

FMLA contains notification requirements. Questions often arise about leave taken intermittently or on a reduced leave schedule. There are numerous questions involving FMLA and COBRA including questions regarding eligibility.
