Understanding Your Rights Under the Family and Medical Leave Act in Fort Lauderdale

Protecting Your Family and Medical Leave Rights in the Workplace

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides important protections for employees needing time off due to family or medical reasons, but it only mandates unpaid leave for eligible workers. Under FMLA, employees of large employers are entitled to up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for reasons such as the birth or adoption of a child, caring for a family member with a serious health condition, or managing their own health issues. Although the U.S. does not require paid medical leave, FMLA ensures job protection during your leave period.
