The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides eligible employees with up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave which can be taken for qualifying events such as the birth or adoption of a child, an employee’s own serious health condition, or to care for a seriously ill family member. FMLA also provides protected time off for the families of veterans and members of the armed services.
