The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides eligible employees the option of leaving their job for certain medical, family and military reasons. If you are an employer covered by the FMLA, you are required to allow eligible employees to take this leave. Understanding who is eligible, what is paid and unpaid, and what your obligations are as an employer are necessary to prevent non-compliance issues from arising. Our attorneys can take a look at your current policies or provide guidance if a situation occurs so that you are not subject to a Department of Labor investigation or potential lawsuit.
