The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) of 1993 grants an eligible employee the right to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave from employment. This is due to caretaking reasons, either for themselves or a family member with a health condition (suffering from a serious illness or needing medical treatment). For employers and managers, the FMLA offers many pitfalls.
