Understanding The Family And Medical Leave Act
Southern California Family And Medical Leave Act Attorneys
The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) entitles employees who have been with their current employer at least one year up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave per year for family and medical care. Additionally, it requires that other benefits and conditions be maintained throughout the leave. This includes leave for the birth of a child, the adoption of a child or the serious health condition of a child, spouse, parent or the employee.
