Family and Medical Leave Act

 
The Family and Medical Leave Act was enacted on February 5, 1993. The new law was effective on August 5, 1993, for most employers. If a collective bargaining agreement (CBA) was in effect on that date, the Act became effective on the expiration date of the CBA or February 5, 1994, whichever was earlier. FMLA entitles eligible employees to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave each year for specified family and medical reasons. An eligible employee's right to FMLA leave began on August 5, 1993. Any leave taken before that date does not count as FMLA leave. Login to read more.
