The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) helps employees take time off when life gets tough—whether it’s a serious health issue, the arrival of a new baby, or caring for a loved one. It allows eligible workers to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave each year, without losing health insurance or worrying about job security. FMLA is designed to promote a healthy work-life balance, especially during life’s most important moments. If you've been with your company for at least a year and meet certain requirements, you may qualify. Some employers can even get tax benefits when they pay during this leave. FMLA is about giving you peace of mind when you need it most.
