What is the purpose of the FMLA?

The FMLA aims to balance work and family needs by providing eligible employees with job-protected leave for specific family and medical reasons.

Who is eligible for FMLA leave?

Employees who have worked for their employer for at least 12 months, worked 1,250 hours over the past 12 months, and work at a location with 50 or more employees within 75 miles are eligible for FMLA leave.

What are the different types of FMLA leave?

FMLA provides up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave for reasons such as caring for a newborn or adopted child, caring for a family member with a serious health condition, or dealing with the employee's own serious health condition.

What are the responsibilities of employees under FMLA?

Employees must provide timely notice of their need for FMLA leave, typically 30 days in advance or as soon as practicable, and provide adequate medical certification for FMLA-qualifying conditions.

What are the obligations of employers regarding FMLA?

Employers must inform employees about their FMLA rights and responsibilities, maintain health benefits during FMLA leave, restore employees to their original or equivalent positions after leave, and avoid retaliating against employees for taking FMLA leave.
