The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is a federal law that provides eligible employees with up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave during a single year for certain family and medical reasons. This includes the birth or adoption of a child, caring for a seriously ill family member, or recovering from their own serious health condition. The FMLA also allows employees to take time off for qualifying military exigencies or to care for a spouse, son, daughter, or parent who is on active duty or has been notified of an impending call or order to active duty.
To be eligible for FMLA leave, employees must have worked for their employer for at least 12 months and completed at least 1,250 hours of service during the previous 12-month period. Additionally, employers with 50 or more employees are required to provide FMLA benefits. It's essential to note that not all employers are covered under this law, so it's crucial to check your company's policies before applying for leave.
