In 1993 Congress passed the Family
and Medical Leave Act providing workers with certain
protections in order to balance family obligations
and
medical needs with their employment obligations.
These protections allow employees:
1. Twelve weeks of leave per year for specific reasons such
as:
A. Caring for a newborn child
B. Caring for an ill family member
C. Handling an adoption procedure
2. Leave when physically unable to perform ones job
3. Upon return to work the employee is restored to the same
position or, if the position is no longer available,
a position providing equal pay, benefits and level.
4. Employee benefits protection while on leave and after
returning from leave.
The Family and Medical Leave Act generally allows employees
to take extended unpaid leaves of absence from work
to take care of family illness or other issues
without fear of losing their job or being reduced in
pay, benefits or level upon return. The law
only applies to larger employers with 50 or more
employees and to employees of federal and state
government employees. Other restrictions also
apply to applicable employees such as time on the
job.
