The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA)

was established to help protect employees who missed work for medical reasons. "The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides employees job protection in case of family or medical emergency. FMLA permits eligible employees to take up to 12 workweeks of unpaid leave during any 12-month period. There are three reasons that an employee can claim FMLA. They are 1) for the birth and care for a newborn child; 2) to care for an immediate family member (spouse, child, or parent) with a serious health condition; and 3) to take medical leave when the employee is unable to work because of a serious health condition. "Covered employers must grant an eligible employee up to a total of 12 work weeks of unpaid leave during any 12-month period for one or more of these reasons" (U. S. Department of Labor [USDL], n.d.) There are several qualifications that both employers and employees must have in order to qualify for FMLA. An employer covered by FMLA is one who employs 50 or more employees. The employee must be employed with the company for at least 12 months
