This video provides an overview of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA).
- FMLA grants up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for qualified medical and family reasons.
- It ensures job protection, requiring employers to reinstate employees to the same or a similar position after their leave.
- Health insurance benefits must be maintained during the leave period.
- Eligibility for FMLA is subject to specific conditions, including the size of the employer and the employee’s tenure and hours worked.
- Exceptions exist, such as for small businesses with fewer than 50 employees, and specific employee eligibility criteria must be met.
