What Is the family and medical leave act (FMLA)?
FMLA stands for Family and Medical Leave Act. This law is designed to help employees balance their work and family responsibilities by allowing them to take a reasonable, job-protected, unpaid leave of absence for certain covered reasons.
Eligible employees are entitled to up to 12 weeks of leave during a 12-month period for certain family and medical reasons. Eligible employees may also take up to 26 weeks of FMLA leave to care for a family member injured or made ill because of military service.
Employees are eligible to take FMLA leave if they have worked for their employer for at least 12 months and have worked for at least 1,250 hours in the 12 months before leave is to begin, and work at a location with at least 50 company employees within 75 miles.
