Revised Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA)

Rating:★★★★★
Category:Other
On January 28, President Bush signed the National Defense Authorization Act, which contains the first expansion of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) since 1993.

This FMLA expansion requires employers to provide 12 weeks of leave to the spouses, children or parents of members of the armed forces called to active duty in the U.S. military. Employers also must provide 26 weeks of unpaid leave to employees caring for family members suffering from a serious injury or illness as a result of serving in the U.S. military.

    Yup, and if you work in DC like me, you get 16 weeks. I have intermittent FMLA going right now, just in case.
