The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is a U.S. federal law that entitles eligible employees to up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave per year for specified family and medical reasons, such as the birth of a child, serious health conditions, or caring for an ill family member. It applies to employers with 50 or more employees and requires continuation of group health insurance coverage during the leave. HR professionals and employment lawyers regularly work with FMLA compliance when managing employee leave requests.
