What is the Family and Medical Leave Act?
The Family and Medical Leave Act is a federal law that grants eligible employees the right to take unpaid leave for specific family and medical reasons while ensuring job protection. It was enacted to balance the demands of the workplace with the needs of employees who require time off to attend to their own health or that of their family members.
Qualified Reasons for Taking FMLA Leave
Under the FMLA, eligible employees are entitled to take leave for the following reasons:
- The birth, adoption, or foster care placement of a child
- Personal or family member's serious health condition
- Employee's own serious health condition that renders them unable to perform their job
- Qualified military exigency
- Caring for a covered servicemember with a serious injury or illness
