the
FMLA is a law that was passed by the
federal government to allow
employees up to 12 weeks a year to deal
with serious health conditions for
themselves or for their family and it’s
unpaid leave but if an employee
qualifies an employer has to give them
that leave to qualify you need to have
worked at the employer for at least a
year you need to have worked I think
it’s 1,250 hours it’s about full-time
for a year the employer needs to be big
enough so it needs to have at least 50
employees within a 75 mile radius but if
all those conditions are met and then if
if you have a serious health condition
or your son or your daughter or your mom
or your dad or your partner or whoever
it is and you need to care for them then
the
FMLA offers those employees protection
for their job so they can care for
themselves or their family while they’re
on that medical leave if an
employer retaliates an against an
employee for taking that leave by either
firing them or demoting them or changing
their pay then that employee has a
lawsuit under the FMLA against their
employer
