FMLA

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:
