FMLA or the Family Medical Leave Act is a law passed in 1993. The law talks
about the right of employees regarding leave. According to its eligible
employees have the right to use a due leave for up to 12 weeks during any
12-month period, and in some conditions up to 26 weeks. However the law had
undergone various amendments.
In case you are deprived of Family Medical Leave Act or have been asked
to take it with your company, make sure to converse with a qualified employment
lawyer the same instant. You are assured these rights under the law, and in
case your employer is infringing the law you are free to ask for legal advice.
