FMLA
Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 was passed by Congress to balance the demands
of the workplace with the needs of families, to promote the stability and economic
security of families, and to promote national interests in preserving family integrity;
to minimize the potential for employment discrimination on the basis of sex by ensuring
generally that leave is available for eligible medical reasons (including maternity-related
disability) and for compelling family reasons; and to promote the goal of equal employment
opportunity for women and men.
This Act provides reasonable unpaid (1) Family and medical leave for the birth of
a child and to care for the newborn child; for the placement of a child with the employee
for adoption or foster care; for the care of a child, spouse or parent who has a serious
health condition; for the employee’s own serious health condition; (2) Qualifying
Exigency Leave for families of covered members and (3) Military Caregiver Leave.
