What are my Obligations Regarding Family and Medical Leave?
Covered employers must provide eligible employees with protected leave for qualifying family and medical reasons. Leave issues are fact-specific because they may overlap with disability accommodations, pregnancy-related obligations, workers’ compensation, paid leave, or state-law requirements.
Employers should communicate clearly, document the process, avoid automatic decisions based on rigid leave limits, and seek guidance before denying leave, discipline, or terminating an employee who has requested or taken protected leave.
