Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
The Family and Medical Leave Act is designed to help employees balance their work and family responsibilities by allowing them to take reasonable, job-protected, unpaid leave for certain qualifying reasons.
The FMLA rules also try to accommodate the legitimate interests of employers, but there are a number of actions covered employers must take when employees request leave, such as providing appropriate notices to employees.
This law can be complicated and far-reaching, requiring an understanding of state and federal requirements. Through a variety of available resources and compliance solutions, J. J. Keller can help you:
