Family & Medical Leave Act (FMLA)

Eligible employees may be entitled to take leave to:

  • Care for a parent, child, or spouse with a serious health condition;
  • Care for and bond with a newborn, adopted, or foster child recently placed with you;
  • Recover from your own serious health condition (including pregnancy); or
