FMLA

US Family and Medical Leave Act allowing eligible employees unpaid leave.

Full Definition

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is a US federal law that entitles eligible employees to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave per year for specified family and medical reasons — including the birth of a child, serious health condition, or care of a family member. To be eligible, employees must have worked for their employer for at least 12 months and at least 1,250 hours during the previous 12-month period. HRMZY automates FMLA tracking and eligibility calculations for US-based employers.
