FMLA ADMINISTRATION

FMLA is a federal law that provides eligible employees with job-protected leave for specific family and medical reasons. Under FMLA, eligible employees are entitled to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave in a 12-month period for various reasons, such as the birth or adoption of a child, caring for a seriously ill family member, or their own serious health condition. 

During FMLA leave, employers must maintain the employee's group health benefits and ensure that they can return to the same or an equivalent position upon their return from leave. FMLA applies to employers with 50 or more employees and to employees who have worked for the employer for at least 12 months and have completed a minimum of 1,250 hours of service in the previous 12-month period. State laws may also provide additional leave benefits that complement or expand upon the provisions of FMLA.
