FMLA

You may be on the verge of a dramatic change in your life if you are expecting a baby or are adopting a child. Dealing with an illness in your family could also be life-changing. The Family Rights Act and the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) are designed to help make life changes a little easier. If you qualify, you can take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave annually to deal with life-changing situations.
