The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), sometimes referred to as the “Forgive my last absence” law, has historically been one of the more challenging laws to administer. This is most likely because it involves people; people who are not quite clear on the law's intent or parameters, or those who have found a loophole. Beyond the people, the law's provisions, which aren't always nice and neat (or clear) require those who administer them to do some work.
The provisions involve certain players as well as steps to take. Knowing the basics can help comply with the provisions. These basics include, but are not limited to, which employers need to comply, which employees may take leave, how leave can be taken, and what happens when leave ends.
The overarching premise of the law is that eligible employees of covered employers are entitled to up to 12 (or 26) workweeks of unpaid, job-protected leave. The devil, of course, is in the details.
